Prenatal Care for Mom and Baby

by Candace Robertson

 

If you’re looking forward to conceiving in the coming months, you’ve already been told many times about the necessity of folic acid in your prenatal care diet to facilitate that process. But did you know that folic acid is critical for your synaptic function and seamless DNA reproduction, from zygote to elderly stages of the life cycle? On a cellular level, which is the most important, it’s true. Folic acid is well known as the supplement to provide sufficient levels of folate to the mother and therefore growing fetus. However, L-Methylfolate is the metabolized folate in its purist and most useful form, to contribute to DNA synthesis and early fetal development, all of which happens at the microscopic cellular level. If everything in the baby’s body is to develop as planned, all of the work is laid out during the months ahead of conception. This is determined by how much L-Methylfolate you have available in your (the mother’s) cells prior to and at the moment of conception in order to assist the earliest cell divisions of the growing fetus. Conceiving and carrying a healthy baby to term is a giving process. If the mother’s body isn’t full of the right nutrients, certain critical processes will be stunted and will cause the low birth rate and birth defects you want to avoid. Pregnancy and birth issues can be devastating for the mother and an entire family. Therefore, weight management as well as vitamin and mineral intake are help to bringing forth the three healthy trimesters and healthy baby that you look forward to. But, there is one concern when trying to make sure that you have the necessary folate levels to contribute to a successful pregnancy. Folate is not easily monitored in the blood. That is to say, only a doctor familiar with the fact that high homocysteine levels is an indicator of low folate will know to pursue knowledge of determining your body’s ability to metabolize folic acid (folate). This is why scientists introduced L-Methylfolate for oral consumption because it can be immediately useful within the mother to be and for the baby. Is a high microgram daily supplement of folic acid enough to keep you and your fetus healthy? Due to the fact that it is a B vitamin, your body will use it in daily processes or excrete it in your waste, so you don’t have to worry about taking too much. The problem is in not ingesting or absorbing enough folate from the folic acid. This is why products like NeevoDHA offer that added security to your prenatal care. Further, only your physician can test your body’s ability to metabolize and absorb folate so that you can offer the best foundation for your baby during prenatal care.
