Folate is shown to prevent neural tubular defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly which can occur 3-4 weeks after conception. Research also suggests that folate may help lower your baby's risk of other birth defects such as cleft lip, cleft palate and certain types of heart defects. As well, folate may also reduce the risk of preeclampsia, a serious blood pressure disorder that affects many women during pregnancy. *IMPORTANCE OF L-METHYLFOLATE VS. FOLIC ACID Folic acid is the "synthetic" form of folate. Folic acid must be metabolized by the body to achieve the active form of folate which is needed for a healthy pregnancy. Over 50% of women have a gene mutation known as MTHER C677T Polymorphism. This gene defect - MTHER prevents folic acid from being converted to the active form of folate. L-Methylfolate is the active form of folate and is 7 times more bioavailable. TriCare Prenatal DHA ONE with Folate uses L-Methylfolate to ensure a healthy pregnancy.
