简要总结

A study to help understand what forms of folic acid are most effective to increase folate status during pregnancy for the best protection against neural tube defects

详细描述

A multisite randomized controlled trial to determine whether supplementation with (6S)-5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) is at least as effective as synthetic folic acid in increasing maternal folate status for protection against neural tube defects (NTDs).
