What Experts Say

Folic acid, the common synthetic form of folate found in most supplements, needs to be converted by the liver and gut lining into L-methylfolate before the body can actually use it for cell division and DNA synthesis. A fairly common genetic variant, affecting a meaningful share of the population, makes this conversion step less efficient.

L-methylfolate is already in this active, usable form, so it bypasses that conversion step entirely. This makes it a practical option for women planning a pregnancy or already pregnant who want reliable folate levels in their blood without depending on how efficiently their own body converts folic acid.

Adequate folate in the weeks before conception and through the first trimester lowers the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida, which is why doctors routinely recommend folate supplementation to women of childbearing age across Pakistan well before pregnancy is confirmed.
