Liz :
Some people (especially those with an MTHFR gene mutation, which is common 50% of the population) don’t convert folic acid efficiently to the active form, so:
• They may benefit more from methylfolate.
• Unmetabolized folic acid might accumulate and potentially cause issues

FOLIC ACID forms the spinal cord. It’s so important to prevent spina bifida.

I legit won’t take anything with my OBs approval during pregnancy. She’s the one with the degree, experience etc. she’ll discuss anything & everything so I understand why we do/dont do certain things. In my Drs I trust

Ritual prenatals are actually disgusting too. They’re fine going down because of the flavor essence…but the algae burps are FOUL.

Oh man I’m confused. My obgyn said ritual was fine. I guess I should be taking an additional folic acid supplement?

It’s me bye :
Hard agree on not listening to TikTok shop people but my ob told me to take smarty pants prenatals because my b12 and folate both stayed deficient (confirmed by blood work) until I started taking the methylated versions

I don’t get how they’re allowed to make claims. I do videos on supplements but you have to state facts; like “easy to take” “smells like mint” “contains x amount of y vitamin” it has to be factual and not… mythical

@Paging Dr. Fran would you be up to making a video about folic acid versus folate? I'm an OB nurse educator who feels strongly about folic acid only.

I couldn’t take any traditional prenatal because I was vomiting so much, but I found out premier protein shakes have enough folic acid that two of them count as a prenatal! And with Zofran I could usually keep those and some potatoes 🥔 down, so for anyone struggling with that, maybe this will help?

why would a women ttc taking vitamins make a man more virile anyways? if the problem is him then why wouldn’t he need to be the one taking measures to improve sperm quality?
