Folic acid, should it be natural?

If you have a genetic mutation (MTHFR) that causes poor absorption of active folate (5-MTHF), taking active folate is recommended. For most people, synthetic folic acid also has a high absorption rate and is perfectly acceptable.

엽산은 기형아 예방을 위한 필수 영양소입니다.

  • 용량: 임신 준비기 400mcg, 임신 초기 600~800mcg 권장
  • 음식: 시금치, 브로콜리, 쑥 등 녹색 채소에 많지만 조리 시 파괴되기 쉬워 영양제로 보충 필요
  • 시기: 신경관이 형성되는 임신 직후가 가장 중요하므로 미리 먹어야 합니다.
