Collapsible row Do these prenatal vitamins contain folic acid?
We use Methylfolate, the active form of folic acid, which is clinically proven to increase serum folate levels.
Since folate is crucial for early pregnancy, it was important to our medical panel to include the most bioavailable form of folate possible—in the form of Methylfolate in our prenatal vitamin formulas. "Folic acid is less expensive, [which] leads to the terms folate and folic acid being interchangeable," says Dr. Amber Samuel, a maternal-fetal medicine doctor and Perelel Panel member. "We know that while everyone has to convert folic acid for it to be useful, [it's] an added step, decreasing bioavailability. And some women cannot due to MTHFR mutations."
