So when I heard a friend mention Methylated Folate during her pregnancy I had to find out more about it and understand it better. I wanted to increase my awareness as I didn’t feel there was enough awareness at all on Methylated Folate, so that here is my intention today; by the end of this article I hope you will be familiar with Methylated Folate, what it’s health benefits are and how we can use it in our lives not just for pregnancy, but for many other health related reasons also.

One potential environmental factor contributing to this decline is exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) from wireless technologies, also known as electromagnetic radiation (EMR) or radiofrequency EMF (RF-EMF).

Brace yourselves for a mind-blowing revelation about an element that has mysteriously disappeared from your diet – iodine! Yes, you heard it right. This little spark plug could be the missing piece in your quest for better health. But wait, there's more!
