THF (FOLIC ACID)
L methylfolate which is bioactive form of folic acid need no complex process of breakdown. Pregnant women are at risk for folate deficiency because pregnancy significantly increases the folate requirement, especially during periods of rapid fetal growth.
THF can help cater a lot of problems. Neural Tube Development; Just like synthetic folic acid, bioactive folic acid is crucial for the development of the baby neural tube, reducing the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly. Red Blood Cell Formation: Bioactive folic acid supports the production of red blood cells, helping prevent anemia during pregnancy.
Cell Growth and Division: THF helps DNA synthesis and cell division, supporting the rapid growth and development of the fetus. Prevention of Birth Defects Bioactive folic acid supplementation may help reduce the risk of other birth defects beyond neural tube defects, similar to synthetic folic acid.
