I have a factor-5 mutation that inhibits the conversion of folic acid to an active form. Not completely. But during pregnancy it is crucial for the active form of folic acid to be absorbed in sufficient quantities to reduce the chance of an NTD. I was prescribed Prenate Essential with metafolin to increase the amount of active folate. Why would you consider this a bad thing?
