In this episode, I'm going to help you understand the critical difference between folic acid and methylfolate, and whether you should be taking either one if you're testing positive for high-risk HPV virus and potentially abnormal cells. Folic acid and methylfolate are both forms of vitamin B9. Folic acid is the synthetic form of vitamin B9, while methylfolate is the active form. Foic acid is commonly used in processed foods and many lower-quality supplements like multivitamins, prenatal vitamins, and B-complexes. Once you swallow folic acid, your body has to convert it into methylfolate, which is the form your cells can actually use. However, at least forty percent of us have at least one gene variation called MTHFR, which affects our ability to convert folic acid into folate. If you're one of those people with one or more MTHFR variations, you might not be able to convert folic acid as effectively. This means you won't get all the benefits from it. I've been in practice for over twenty-six years, and I specialize in HPV, abnormal pap smears, women's health, MTHFR, gene variations, and methylation issues. These are my specialties, and this is why I'm so passionate about helping people understand this topic. I\u2019m here to help you!
