What Every Mom Should Know About Folate in Her Prenatal

From the moment you see two lines, the message is everywhere: take your folic acid. It’s the number-one thing doctors point to for a healthy pregnancy. So you do — faithfully, every single day.

Here’s a detail worth knowing: the folic acid in almost every prenatal is synthetic. The body converts it into the active form before it can use it.

For some people, that conversion is less efficient — which is one reason the active, methylated form has become so popular with moms who want folate that’s ready to use.

Here’s something worth understanding. The folic acid in most prenatals is the synthetic form, which the body converts into active folate before it can use it. And that conversion varies from person to person — by some estimates, up to 40% of people carry a variation in a gene called MTHFR that’s associated with converting the synthetic form less efficiently.*

It’s a genuinely complex, evolving area of science — and it’s one reason many moms simply prefer a prenatal that uses folate in its active form from the start.

That’s exactly why GLO Total Prenatal is made with methylated folate — folate that’s already in its active form, so there’s no conversion step required.

Emotion got your attention. Here’s the part you can measure.

*Estimates of MTHFR variant prevalence vary across populations and remain an area of ongoing research. Nutrient figures are from the product label. Always talk to your doctor or midwife about the prenatal that’s right for you.

No stacking three separate bottles on the kitchen counter. No guessing. Two small capsules a day, built around the things that actually matter.

Methylated folate is the headline — it’s not the whole story. Each nutrient is there for a specific job:

Plus choline for the brain, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, C, D and E — the essentials baby needs for brain, neural tube and healthy development.

When it’s going into your body — and your baby’s — “trust me” isn’t good enough.

That’s not a claim GLO made about itself. It’s a third party putting the product through the wringer and signing off on it.
