The more I learn the harder it is to make choices. Just want to get a good prenatal and I was going to go with Ritual. Until I started seeing lots of people saying how dangerous it is to not have folic acid in your vitamin. I know it’s synthetic but there’s so many mixed opinions. Share your thoughts.

I've been told folate is what we should choose over folic acid.

Folate!!! Folic acid helps to create for facia tissue around the organs and therefore increases the chances of lip/tongue/cheek tie. May be totally due to genetics as the first born takes after my husbands side and a lip tie runs in the family, but my first born has a lip tie (I took folic acid) and my second doesn't (I took folate). Again though, my second born looks more like me. Anyway it does match up with the theory. Try wild nutrition prenatal vitamins, it's all from organic food, that's what I took and I was really happy with them

Get folate from food sources, and don’t take folic acid. It’s synthetic and actually about 60% of the population have a gene mutation that means their body can’t break the folic acid down. So it’s just circling in your blood stream which can have harmful affects on you and baby
