First things first: What is folate?

Folate (also known as vitamin B9) is a nutrient that plays an important role in red blood cell formation and DNA synthesis. Because of this, it’s especially crucial during early pregnancy.

During pregnancy, folate supports a baby’s healthy neural tube development and is very important in the early weeks.

Recommended folate intake increases during pregnancy to fuel rapid growth and help prevent neural tube defects  like spina bifida, and other midline birth defects.

 This is why it’s important to have enough folate before you even get pregnant and during the first trimester—so that during those first few weeks (when you might not even know you’re pregnant) you’re still supporting these key development milestones.

 There is also evidence that folate promoted optimal fertilization and implantation and as such, anyone planning to get pregnant should take folate for at least three months prior to conception and continue through the postpartum period.

 Folate- rich foods include spinach, liver, asparagus, and brussels sprouts. However, if you are unable to  get a recommended 6-8 servings of green vegetables a day,  Supplementation is often a great way to make sure you’re getting enough folate.

After the loss of my baby to Spina BIFIDA (a neural tube birth defect) several years ago- I became aware of the importance of supplementing with folate

Listen up ladies, if there's any chance that you CAN get pregnant, it is super duper important that you supplement with folate even BEFORE you get pregnant to prevent neural tube defects in your baby.

However you need to understand the differences between folate and folic acid as they are often used incorrectly and interchangeably.

In the past three October's we have tackled this conversation whilst educating on Spina BIFIDA.

Folate and Folic Acid are two distinct compounds with different functions in the body.

Folate is naturally occurring while Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate.

Folate is the form of vitamin B9 that you find in foods like leaty green veggies, liver, nuts and seeds etc.

It is an essential nutrient, critical for the growth of healthy cells and DNA creation thus extremely important to get before and during pregnancy.

Major difference:

Folate converts to active form 5-MTHF that your body utilizes best.

Folic has a hard time converting to 5-MTHF in the body.

The body can only process so much folic acid because It is difficult to metabolize.

The natural form of B9, folate, is much more easily processed and utilized.

Adequate ingestion of folate is of primary importance for women TTC especially very early in pregnancy. It's been associated with decreased risk of Neural Tube Defects, congenital heart defects, and oral clefts, i.e. cleft palate.
