I’ve written many times about the differences between synthetic folic acid and folate, yet the questions and controversies continue. This in-depth article expla...ins why folate is superior to folic acid with lots and lots and lots of data to back up my stance. You’ll learn: How folic acid is different from folate How MTHFR impacts folate metabolism, how to find out if you have a variation in your MTHFR gene and what to do if you’re among the 40-60% of us MTHFR mutants Problems with high levels of folic acid in fortified foods/supplements and unmetabolized folic acid Why doctors still recommend folic acid and supplement manufacturers are reluctant to switch to better forms of folate Effect of different type of folate on fertility and pregnancy outcomes Best food sources of natural folate (you might find this surprising!) And a lot more! https://lilynicholsrdn.com/folate-pregnancy-folic-acid-MTHFR After reading, let me know in the comments (here or on the blog post itself) which factoid on folate from the article you found most interesting or, if you had more than one, share your favorites!
