🥤 Swap plastic water bottles and containers for glass or stainless steel
🍳 Replace plastic cooking utensils with wood or metal alternatives
🕯️ Reduce synthetic fragrances in perfumes, candles, detergents, and body care

You may be taking folate during pregnancy, but are you taking the right form?

For some women, folate receptor antibodies can interfere with how folate is transported through the body and to the developing baby.

In one study of pregnant women with folate receptor antibodies, outcomes differed significantly between those taking folic acid and those taking folinic acid.

Those who took folic acid had an autism incidence of >60% in their children, while those who took folinic acid had a 10% incidence.

Same nutrient family. Different form. Very different implication.

If you’re expecting, preparing for pregnancy, or thinking about having a baby, this is worth discussing with a qualified practitioner.
