Beyond the amount in prenatals? Is your doctor thinking about folic acid vs folate?


Food source info:

Thank you! Yes - I am currently expecting twins so he said he recommends increasing folate intake.

I took additional folate especially the first half of my pregnancy. I took Pure Encapsulations Folate 1000. I would find out how much extra they want you on!

I got a brand I think you need to buy from an ND but either way I was told to make sure it was 5-MTHF as opposed to other forms for Max absorption.

Hello New Members!
I hope everyone is well. A little on my background I’ve been an RTT for about 6 years. I have worked for some incredible employers and not so incredible employers.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
