SUMMARY:World Folic Acid Awareness Week
DESCRIPTION:January 1-7 marks World Folic Acid Awareness Week. Shedding light on the significance of folic acid (FA) in our lives\, particularly for those with HG. \nWhat do you know? \n\nFolic acid is the synthetic form of folate (vitamin B9).\nEnriched foods\, such as cereals\, incorporate folic acid.\nMost people do not get enough folate in their diet which increases health risks.\nObtaining sufficient folate from food proves challenging\, necessitating the use of a pill.\nThose who may become pregnant should take it daily.\nFA pills are critical during the first trimester to prevent defects in the baby’s brain and spine\, and throughout pregnancy to reduce pregnancy complications.\nAt least 600 mcg per day is required during pregnancy\, but more may be helpful during HG.\nMost prenatal vitamins have FA\, but the pills are easier to tolerate when sick.\nFA can be given by IV and may be needed when intake is limited for more than a few weeks.\nThose with the gene variants\, like MTHFR\, may need active or methylated folate. (Methylfolate)\n#WFAAW24\n\nAdditional Links:\n\nPreparing for HG\nReceive Support\nClinical Tools\nCurrent Research Opportunities \nVolunteer with HER\nShare your HG Story
