    I also have a degree in nutrition science and have been actively searching for a prenatal with L-methylfolate. So glad to hear you talk about this! I work in healthcare and no one knows what I'm talking about when I bring up MTHFR variation.

      Below are some extracts from the above page that you might find useful.
      1. You might have read or heard that folic acid is not safe if you have one or two copies of the MTHFR C677T variant. This is not true. Even if you have one or two copies of the MTHFR C677T variant, your body can safely and effectively process the different types of folate, including folic acid.
      2. When consuming the same amount of folic acid, people with the MTHFR 677 TT genotype have an average amount of folate in their blood that is only slightly lower (about 16% lower) than people with the MTHFR 677 CC genotype.

      I call them medical mafia. They are brainwashed pill pushers who do not bother to research for themselves. However, many are waking up, a lot more than in the past and especially now with the cv vax, which pregnant women not only avoid that jab but avoid people who got it. There are people saying there are ways to stay safe around them though. 1 of several measures is a personal wearable ionizer. Get one. They are rechargeable and hang around the neck and does something to prevent the vaxed shedding onto the non vaxed.

    I was prescribed a prenatal by my doctor during my pregnancy. I don’t know what was in it (there was no listing of ingredients) We ended up losing that baby at 9 weeks 4 days.
    This time I’m taking folate before we conceive. I hope we can have our rainbow baby soon 🌈

      I'm so sorry for you loss. I also lost my baby back in July. We were 20 weeks, and the same thing with me too.. Given prenatal by the Dr with no ingredients listed so this time I'm making sure I do my research too. I wish you the best in trying to conceive again

    • @QueenJessi818
      @QueenJessi818 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Karina Garcia sorry for your loss too! I am currently taking Pink Stork total prenatal with dha. I chose that because I don’t eat fish and that prenatal didn’t contain fish oil.

    Thank you Becca!! This was so helpful in that it allowed me to see that I am right on track with what I am taking and doing during my pregnancy. It's soooo hard to know what you need, esp when you sometimes feel like the MD or NP doesn't even know (i.e. Folic Acid vs Folate). For any other soon to be mommas out there just want to add that the Natural Calm DEFINITELY DOES help with constipation, at least for me. I only wish I had thought of it sooner! It was one of my worst first trimester symptoms (+bloating). I actually take the Rasp-Lemon Mag + Calcium since I don't eat dairy. It's fantastic! Thanks again and keep the healthy info coming!

    • @arnabsen2005
      @arnabsen2005 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure the MD and NP know more about folic acid vs folate than you might think. Check CDC webpage.

    Read reviews on the natural calm product... this is one of the reviews which was mentioned by others...
    From an independent study by labdoor, Natural Vitality Natural Calm scored low (48 out of 100) due to -
    "Ratings and Key Data
    This product recorded concerning levels of total arsenic and exceeded its label claim for magnesium by 2.9%."
    arsenic !?! I'll pass on this product until they clean up their quality.
    This is one comment. Anyway. Idk maybe there are better supplements for this one🤷🏻‍♀️

    It’s so crazy that they taught you about MTHFR in school and the majority of conventional physicians are still clueless. I always assumed it was only functional medicine or naturopathic doctors who knew but hearing that you’re taught it in school too makes me think conventional doctors are majorly slacking on their research. I mean come on I have no background in medicine or diet and I learned about the most bioavailable forms of vitamins just through my own research.

    I am so glad you mentioned folic acid. I took some in preparation to conceive and got SO SICK. For 48 hours. Just ill. It was awful. 🤢 I swore the stuff off even though I wasn’t sure why it made me so sick. A pregnancy app recommended it and my midwife had no clue why it made me sick. Thank you for explaining what I couldn’t have known otherwise! I have a prenatal with folate now thank goodness.

    The reason why the prenatal doesn’t contain very much calcium because it blocks the absorption of other key nutrients in the prenatal vitamin. It’s best to either consume calcium rich foods or supplement with a separate calcium supplement.

    Super helpful video, thank you!! I think you mentioned the red raspberry tea leaf was in your prenatal but since it’s not in mine do you recommend any particular supplement for this? Or should I just drink the tea everyday? It’s unfortunate that medical doctors are not trained in nutrition/supplements much. My OB barely looked at my prenatal that I took with me to my first appt and kindof skimmed over the topic. Disappointing. So your expertise helped so much, wish I had known some of this sooner! I am 20 weeks pregnant, we’re so close! :)

    • @SourAndSweets
      @SourAndSweets 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      F M i think it is not recommended drinking the tea until you are around 35 weeks. It might give you contractions. You can do your research but my midwife told me to start around 36 weeks, however some people take it around 30 weeks .

    everyone should take magnesium, also when taking D3 we need K2 mk7 to disperse magnesium and calcium where it needs to be. I have learned a ton of info on vitamins and minerals in menopause fb groups...tonnns of knowledge in the rooms.
    Magnesium is life changing for so so many. I use tab, spray on my feet and the calm, which ever i feel like..the mag oil bypasses the stomach which is the best form, and its super cheap to make you own.

    Thank you for this information. I’m pregnant for the first time at age 40 and have received little to no help with anything regarding pregnancy at this point. My first ultrasound is tomorrow (can’t wait to find out how far along I am)! I am so sick of feeling icky and lazy. Unfortunately I’ve already had a migraine headache (usually get one every 5-10 years) and now a cold sore. Do you have any tips to help me and also what are your thoughts on L-lysine use during pregnancy? Thank you so much for this video

    I know I'm super late to the game since you posted this a year ago. My mother is a RD, so I'm somewhat familiar with what you're talking about. Dr. Jolene Brighten is a naturopathic doctor that I follow and I've just ordered her Prenatal Plus vitamins (baby #4) and I was curious what your thoughts are on the ingredients in her prenatal. Love your videos! So glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    does the active form of methyl folate help prevent neural tube defects? Also since I'll never be able to test for mthfr is methyl folate better to take before, during pregnancy over folic acid?

  • @audreyfranke1587

    Hi Becca. Thanks so much for this video! I was curious if you had any recommendations for prenatal vitamins/DHA that was more affordable? I loved the idea of using one with folate vs. folic acid, but it’s costing me $65 a month for the prenatal/DHA and I’m trying to save for my 7,000 out of pocket insurance costs 😞 . Thanks in advance!

    I know this is an older video, but I was wondering- my prenatal is Garden Of Life, it has Folate( culture of S. Cerevisiae). I’m assuming that’s as what you mentioned but that’s just how they get it?

  • @Firewalker11.19
    @Firewalker11.19 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    From what I understand dairy products actually leach calcium from us instead of giving it to us, because the form it's in, in the dairy milk etc, our bodies don't get to process it properly. Of course it's worse with regular dairy products, like mainstream name brands than say with organic grass fed cows without the hormones, unnatural diet, etc..... thinking the gmo grains most cafo cows are fed while confined in a stall all day contributes to toxic products.
    I was very unhealthy with upper respiratory infections much of my life after vaxes in elementary school and the dairy played a role. The cheese seems to not have as great a detrimental impact as the milk for some reason. The nut milks are way better for me including almond, cashew, and coconut, plus have more calcium the body can more easily process and utilize. I still love cheese and so long as I stick to organic cheeses I'm good!!
    Lots of people explaining why cows milk doesn't actually supply calcium but leaches it from our bodies. So maybe pull up more videos on that because I cannot quote them verbatim. Lots of science behind everything and since learning just about everything we're told by mainstream is upside down and backwards, I love looking through alternative information and sifting through it intuitively to make my own decisions. I recommend everyone do that for themselves because we are not a one size fits all deal and may have things which affect us each differently.
    I have a friend who did her DNA because they had an offer to also tell her about her genetics in regards to her health and what foods would make her healthier and which ones might make her ill. She had to do things a lot differently than everyone else. She's someone who cannot have any dairy nor anything with calcium. I never can remember the name of the DNA test but it's not one with words as a name, it's 3 letters idk, gri crg gci??? It's the only testing company which doesn't sell your information and gives you lists going back thousands of years of your entire ancestry, everyone you're related to and how, the complete migratory pattern your family's took etc etc etc...... gives a lot of information on your DNA more than any other..... I want to do this one when I get the chance and definitely no other test. The others all suck in comparison and are a complete waste of money, and highly inaccurate and very general.

    Hi Becca! I love watching your pregnancy vlog! I have a question , when did you start drinking the Mama Bird prenatal ? I’m just cautious to drink it in the first trimester because it has red raspberry leaf content in it , according to most research that red raspberry leaf should be taken only during the last trimester to be safe , because it can cause miscarriage during first trimester . And I don’t want to take risk.That’s why I’m asking when did you start taking it ? Thank you .

      Hi, Natalie!
      We would like to clear up any misinformation about red raspberry leaf. The amount of red raspberry leaf in each of our tablets is 120 mg. As a comparison, the amount of red raspberry leaf in a capsule is 450 mg and the amount in a cup of tea is 1500-1800 mg per cup.
      Red raspberry leaf is a herb known to mothers all over the world as a herb to ease nausea. It is okay to take in all trimesters, including the first trimester in small doses, which is what our formula contains. Dr. Aviva Romm, MD has a well-researched paper about the benefits and safety of red raspberry leaf during pregnancy: avivaromm.com/herbal-medicines-in-pregnancy-safety/
      Naturally high in magnesium, potassium, iron, and B vitamins, Red Raspberry Leaf helps to ease nausea and leg cramps.
      Here's another great article: deeprootsathome.com/red-raspberry-leaf-tea-danger-help/
      As always, we are here to help you Build Your Best Nest.

      Whole Earth & Sea and is a product of Canada. It comes in dark glass bottle which I trust more. Only thing is it makes me gassy in the evening, but it could be because of hormones and slower digestion. I'm 17 weeks.
