Episode Details

Currently on social media, there seems to be an interest in prenatal choline supplementation. Choline, a B vitamin, is not typically within standard prenatal vitamins. Is this micronutrient important for prenatal supplementation? What do professional/medical societies have to say regarding prenatal supplementation? What’s the data? In this episode, we will summarize choline’s role in fetal/newborn development, examine the data regarding deficiency, and talk supplementation recommendations. (Shout out to Dr. Cat Jimenez for the subject suggestion.)
