Prenatals vitamins ? Folate or folic acid ??

Question

I take nature made prenatal vitamins with dha... I was reading an article where it mentioned it's folate is better to take than folic acid ? Anyone have experience with what to take ?  I take the one in the pic below.

Answer

Those are synthetic. I believe it's healthier to take food based or food sourced vitamins. Folate is the natural form, folic acid is synthetic.

Answer

I have the same one

Answer

Folate is the neutral form, folic acid is the charged form. Both of them are the same compound except one is in its charged form.

Hypothetically, it would be best to take the folate form since it can be more easily absorbed (due to its neutral charge). However, studies show that the absorption doesn't improve by much.

So if you had to choose, go with the folate form. But honestly, it doesn't matter.

Answer

I hope this helps me out
