MTHFR isoform carriers. 5-MTHF (5-methyl tetrahydrofolate) vs folic acid: a key to pregnancy outcome: a case series

This observational study explored the effects of 5-methyl tetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) compared to synthetic folic acid in couples with MTHFR isoform mutations (C677T and A1298C), which are linked to fertility issues and recurrent fetal loss. It found that 5-MTHF supplementation might improve pregnancy outcomes by bypassing metabolic defects caused by the
