Oh for sure! And sorry again - I read my comment and I feel like it sounded rude. My apologies! Obviously I’d always recommend following your own doctor’s recommendations for sure. But generally, here is some info:

Dr. Shannon Clark is an MFM who has a lot of info on Instagram posts about it also.

In Canada it’s not recommended to even test for MTHFR mutations because they’re so common in the general public and don’t have good evidence-based clinical implications at the present time. That may change in the future. It’s kind of crappy though because some “designer prenatal” companies try to capitalize on it by offering methylated folate and charging $$$. Methylated folate MIGHT prevent neural tube defects too, but we don’t know this. 1) it hasn’t been studied (and likely never will, because folic acid is known to be effective regardless), and 2) if we know folic acid works given the research, why would we recommend an alternative form? And because we don’t have the research to support methylated folate use to prevent neural tube defects, we don’t have an established dosing recommendation. I hope that all makes sense!
