Why Folate is Important?

Neural tube defects are birth defects of the spinal cord such as spina bifida, the brain such as anencephaly, and Chiari malformation, another type that causes brain tissue to descend into the spinal canal.

Neural tube defects affect approximately 300,000 babies worldwide each year but between 50 and 70 percent of neural tube defects can be prevented when women take Folate in a prenatal vitamin or supplement.

The key, however, is to take Folate everyday whether you’re actively trying to conceive or holding off on having children for awhile.

That’s because the moment you become pregnant­—before you get a positive pregnancy test—your baby is already reproducing those important neurological cells that are vital for the development in his brain and spine, Bloch says.

You should also take Folate everyday even if you don’t have plans to have children or if you think you can’t get pregnant. Since 40 percent of pregnancies worldwide are unplanned, getting enough Folate is a good plan should you have a surprise. 

Research shows Folate may do more than prevent neural tube defects. In fact, eating Folate-fortified foods was associated with an 11 percent reduction of congenital heart defects, a recent study in the journal Circulation found.

Another study suggests that adequate levels of folate may even lower the risk of having a child who is obese.
Why Folate is Important
We recommend you to supplement better folate/folic acid:
Magnafolate® L Methylfolate(active folate)—maximizes the supplementation delivering a "finished" folate the body can immediately use without any kind of metabolization.
It can better supplement the folate that the body lacks.
