Folic Acid vs. 5-LMTHF in Pregnancy and Fertility

To Health With That! MTHFR Mutations.

Folic acid is the standard of care for both prenatal vitamins and high doses for couples struggling with infertility. So let's look at a compelling research study about using 5-LMTHF as an intervention instead of folic acid for couples who have been struggling with infertility for four years and have already failed high-dose (5000 mcg) folic acid. We'll talk about

• The potential risks of 5000 mcg folic acid in pregnancy
• UMFA and the dangers of unmetabolized folic acid
• A remarkable study that helped 27/33 couples get pregnant after FOUR YEARS of infertility
• The difference between people who have an MTHFR mutation and people who don't.
• Research that you can take to your care team if you'd prefer to try 5-LMTHF instead of folic acid.
