There are many side effects that can arise from folate deficiency during pregnancy. For every woman trying to get pregnant, even the thought of harelip or spina bifida is motivation enough for daily folic acid supplementation.
However, our body cannot utilize consumed sintetic folic acid. It needs to be converted, during a 4-step process, into an active form that our bodies can use. This active form is called 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MTHF).
Studies have shown that every other woman in Serbia due to genetics is not able to fully use consumed folic acid and transform it into its active form.
