U.K. prenatals with methylfolate

I’m looking to replace my typical folic acid with vitamins containing folic acid in the form of methylfolate. Does any U.K. mummas or mummas to be have any recommendations?

Thanks in advance xo

Hi, I take Cytoplan supplements, British and great quality.

I did find some but they were HUGE and I was almost choking on them, even if I cut them in half (and I'm not someone who struggles to swallow pills generally)... It got to the point where I was envisaging gruesome headlines: "pregnant woman chokes to death on prenatal vitamins" so I just gave up and took methylfolate separately, and then just vitamin d. I didn't bother with the rest. So, whatever brands you consider, just check out the size of the tablets!

@Persipan I noticed how big some of them were!

My head would also go to that same dark place about the headlines 🤣 maybe I'll opt for taking a few smaller ones then!
