Abstract
Folate (vitamin B9) is a necessary nutrient for DNA replication as well as a variety of enzymatic processes involved in amino acid synthesis and vitamin metabolism. Because folate is necessary for the fetus's growth and development, demand for it rises throughout pregnancy. Folate deficiency has been linked to birth defects in both mothers and babies (anaemia, peripheral neuropathy) (congenital abnormalities). The metabolism of folic acid, the appropriate use of folic acid supplementation in pregnancy, and the potential benefits of folic acid are discussed in this article, as well as the use of l-methyl folate supplementation for the prevention of pregnancy-related complications other than neural tube defects.
