Pregnancy, also known as vitamin B9 or folate, plays a crucial role in human health, especially in pregnant women and those contemplating pregnancy. Essential for cell growth and DNA formation, this water-soluble vitamin is particularly important during phases of rapid development, such as those observed during pregnancy.<\/p><p>Folic acid supplementation has become a cornerstone of medical recommendations for women who are pregnant or of childbearing age. This importance is underlined by the potentially serious consequences of a deficiency in this vitamin. One of the major problems associated with folic acid deficiency is the increased risk of neural tube defects in the foetus, such as spina bifida or anencephaly. These malformations can lead to severe or even fatal complications, affecting the child&#8217;s neurological development.<\/p><p>In addition to its role in preventing birth defects, folic acid also helps to prevent anaemia in the mother, by promoting the formation of healthy red blood cells. In addition, folic acid deficiency has been linked to high levels of homocysteine in the blood, a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease.<\/p><p>Faced with these challenges, folic acid supplementation has become a global public health strategy, often initiated before conception and continued throughout pregnancy. The aim is to ensure sufficient intake to support optimal development of the foetus and maintain the mother&#8217;s health. This introduction will explore in depth the crucial aspects of folic acid, before, during and after pregnancy, highlighting its indispensable role and the preventive measures to be adopted to ensure a healthy, complication-free pregnancy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

Folic acid supplementation is therefore strongly recommended to prevent these neural tube defects, underlining its importance not only for the health of the mother but also for the optimal neurological development of the foetus.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-47793a0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"47793a0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-69e9f6c\" data-id=\"69e9f6c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bb4bee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0bb4bee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Importance of the Choice of Supplementation: MTHF vs Folic Acid<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9a116f8 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9a116f8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-07fe8a5\" data-id=\"07fe8a5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ae87103 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ae87103\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The choice of form of vitamin B9 supplementation is crucial to maximising its benefits, particularly when it comes to MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate) as opposed to synthetic folic acid. MTHF, being the bioactive form of folic acid, can be used directly by the body without the need for conversion. This characteristic makes it particularly effective and important for certain populations.<\/p><p>A major consideration when choosing MTHF is that some people have a genetic variant (polymorphism) of the MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase) enzyme. This genetic variant can reduce the efficiency with which their body converts folic acid into its active form, MTHF. As a result, in these individuals, supplementation with standard folic acid may not be totally effective, and may even be potentially problematic, as unmetabolised folic acid may accumulate in the body.<\/p><p>Furthermore, MTHF has additional advantages over synthetic folic acid. It is better absorbed and more directly involved in key metabolic processes such as methionine synthesis and homocysteine regulation. This is particularly important for cardiovascular and neurological health, both for the mother and for foetal development.<\/p><p>In addition, studies suggest that MTHF supplementation may reduce the risk of side effects or allergic reactions sometimes associated with synthetic folic acid, making MTHF a safer and more effective option for a wide range of populations, including those with specific sensitivities or genetic predispositions.<\/p><p>In summary, although folic acid is widely used and recommended, consideration of the bioactive form, MTHF, offers a more effective and personalised alternative for vitamin B9 supplementation, especially for pregnant women or those planning a pregnancy, with a view to optimising maternal and foetal health.<\/p><p><strong>Plusbaby<\/strong>, aware of the importance of reproductive health, is committed to providing couples wishing to conceive with the very best products. This is reflected in their +fertimen and +fertiwomen ranges, designed specifically to optimise male and female fertility. These supplements contain MTHF (methyltetrahydrofolate), the most bioactive form of folic acid, ensuring maximum absorption and enhanced efficacy. Recognising the crucial importance of MTHF in foetal development and reproductive health, Plusbaby also includes this form of folate in its Prenatal +mum vitamins. These products are designed to provide optimum support for reproductive health, from the preparation of pregnancy right through to term, paying particular attention to the specific nutritional needs of pregnant women and couples in the conception phase.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1141b44 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1141b44\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e1192cc\" data-id=\"e1192cc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fbae96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6fbae96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-26421\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/plusbaby.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/fille-besoin-maquillage-excuse-pensant-debout-concentre-dans-pose-reflechie-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1032b2e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1032b2e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bcd9260\" data-id=\"bcd9260\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-406bb05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"406bb05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Insufficiency and deficiency in folates or folic acid 5-MTHF<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-88f622b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"88f622b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c20947b\" data-id=\"c20947b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb5d264 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb5d264\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Due to the high frequency of the MTHFR gene mutation, many women are folate deficient, with levels below recommended levels.

According to the FOPH, pregnant women and women planning a pregnancy are advised to take a daily folic acid supplement. This recommendation is part of an effort to prevent neural tube defects and other potential complications linked to a deficiency in this essential vitamin.<\/p><p>The FOPH stresses the importance of early supplementation, ideally before conception and during the first weeks of pregnancy, a crucial period for the development of the foetus&#8217; nervous system. The daily dose recommended by the FOPH varies, but is generally set at around 400 to 600 micrograms, to ensure adequate intake for the mother and the healthy development of the baby.<\/p><p>These guidelines are in line with international standards and reflect a thorough understanding of the specific nutritional needs during this key period. The FOPH also encourages pregnant women to adopt a diet rich in natural folates, found in green vegetables, legumes and certain fruits, thus complementing folic acid supplementation for optimal nutritional coverage. This holistic approach aims to ensure a balanced diet, promoting the overall well-being of the mother and the healthy development of the unborn child.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6eec680 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6eec680\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4e6b3e8\" data-id=\"4e6b3e8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-757e14b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"757e14b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Food sources: green vegetables, enriched cereals, pulses.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6a8e079 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6a8e079\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23cb6b1\" data-id=\"23cb6b1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15be7a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"15be7a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to supplements, it is advisable to eat a diet rich in natural folates.

These foods, in conjunction with appropriate supplementation, help to maintain the necessary levels of folic acid for optimal health before conception.<\/p><p>To achieve the recommended intake of 800 micrograms of folic acid per day through the diet, here are some detailed examples with measurements and weights:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Leafy green vegetables<\/strong>:<br \/><ul><li>Cooked spinach: One cup (about 180 grams) of cooked spinach provides about 263 micrograms of folic acid.<\/li><li>Broccoli: Two cups of raw broccoli (about 184 grams) provides about 108 micrograms.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><strong>Legumes<\/strong>:<br \/><ul><li>Lentils: Half a cup of cooked lentils (about 100 grams) contains about 179 micrograms.<\/li><li>Chickpeas: Half a cup of cooked chickpeas (about 82 grams) contains about 141 micrograms.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol><p>It is difficult to achieve such a high dose every day through diet.

supplementation, due to its essential role in the correct closure of the neural tube. This stage generally occurs within the first 28 days after conception, a period during which folic acid deficiency can lead to serious congenital malformations such as spina bifida.<\/p><p><br \/>Closure of the neural tube is a key process that occurs in the first few weeks of pregnancy. The neural tube is the embryonic structure that later develops into the brain, spinal cord and bones of the spinal column. During embryonic development, the neural tube forms and closes correctly, generally around the 28th day after conception. Inadequate closure of the neural tube can lead to malformations such as spina bifida, where the spine and spinal cord do not develop normally, potentially causing serious disability. Folic acid supplementation before and during early pregnancy is essential to reduce the risk of such anomalies.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f1c2892 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f1c2892\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5279389\" data-id=\"5279389\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7f48e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c7f48e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Recommended doses: increased requirements, prescribed supplements.<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1497a83 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1497a83\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-62a2850\" data-id=\"62a2850\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9921cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9921cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The recommended doses of folic acid are of particular importance as soon as the desire to conceive arises.
