Why folate is important during pregnancy?
Adequate folate levels are critical for a healthy pregnancy, aiding proper fetal development by supporting cell growth and division and DNA repair, as well as preventing birth defects.
Folates also reduce risk of preterm birth, low birth weight, developmental birth defects like cleft lip and palate, and neural tube defects like spina bifida.
Like many essential nutrients, we must get folate (vitamin B9) from our diet.
While often used interchangeably, folic acid and folate are not the same. Folic acid is the inactive precursor to active folate that is used in many supplements and fortified foods. However, to become biologically active, folic acid needs to go through several transformation steps in the body to be converted into active folate, which is known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), as found in the ingredient Quatrefolic®.
