Folic acid alleviates gastric hypersensitivity
We investigated how folic acid (FA) impacts gastric hypersensitivity caused by prenatal stress. Through a series of experiments involving nerve recordings and molecular analysis, we found that FA significantly alleviated symptoms related to gastric hypersensitivity.
It worked by boosting the expression of DNMT1, which in turn reduced the activity of ASIC1, a key molecule involved in pain sensation. While promising, further research is essential as this study primarily focuses on rats. The findings may pave the way for potential treatments in humans.

Methyl donors may increase allergy risk
We examined how late-gestation maternal supplementation with methyl donors impacts allergic sensitivity in offspring from pregnancies with restricted growth (IUGR).
Our study compared allergic responses in three groups of sheep: those from normal pregnancies, those from PR pregnancies without supplementation, and those whose mothers received the supplementation.
Interestingly, while the IUGR pregnancies showed protection against allergies, the methyl donor supplementation did not change this advantage. In fact, it resulted in more upper dermal mast cells but did not alter overall allergic reactions or birth size.
These findings indicate that while IUGR may limit allergy risk, adding methyl donors might potentially increase it instead.

Do you know your homocysteine levels? For women planning a pregnancy, this indicator is crucial. My levels were about 9, too high. I ordered this supplement due to my severe allergies to folic acid. After a month, my levels dropped to 7, indicating effectiveness. I tolerate it well, with no allergies. I took one capsule daily after meals, and notably, I felt clearer-headed and more cheerful, which likely improved my performance as well. I highly recommend it!

I'm not satisfied. While everyone else seems to benefit from it, I found that it dried out my skin, and I experienced irritation, possibly due to allergies. After three weeks of daily use, I stopped and my symptoms returned to normal.

The best form of folic acid, as suggested by my paediatrician for my child’s low hemoglobin during HV. I chose this form for myself as it digests better than the usual type. I did not notice any side effects or allergies, and the capsules are small and convenient to take.

The quality and ingredients are good. Folic acid is an excellent digestible form; I even give it to children. The taste is fine, and the capsules are small and easy to take. I experienced no allergies or side effects. This is a fantastic supplement for folate deficiency. During my pregnancy, everything was fine and I delivered a healthy baby. I liked the supplement and noticed great results.

Improved clarity
For women planning a pregnancy, keeping homocysteine levels below 7 is vital. I had levels around 9 and have a severe allergy to folic acid, so I ordered this. After a month, my levels dropped to 7, indicating effectiveness. Most importantly, I experience no allergies. Taking one capsule daily improved my clarity and cheerfulness, likely enhancing my overall performance. I recommend it highly!
