Folate and MTHFR: Are They Affecting Your Pregnancy?

A webinar focusing on the effect of folate and the MTHFR gene on conception, pregnancy and fetal development.

Join Carolyn Ledowsky, naturopath, MTHFR expert and founder of MTHFR Support Australia for this webinar focused on the impact folate and MTHFR can have on your pregnancy.

Why Folate and MTHFR?

Folate and the related MTHFR gene play vital roles in the production of healthy DNA, which is needed for the rapid growth of the unborn foetus.

Therefore, ensuring folate levels and the MTHFR gene are functioning optimally are vital steps in any pre-conception plan, and are necessary investigations for every couple wanting to fall pregnant.

MTHFR Support Australia has created this webinar to provide education, support and information for couples wanting to fall pregnant.
