J.T. is a 29-year-old female vegetarian who is planning to conceive within the next six months. Recognizing the importance of adequate folic acid levels for a healthy pregnancy, she was advised to begin folic acid supplementation one month ago due to a diagnosed deficiency. Despite her adherence to the recommended supplementation regimen, J.T.’s recent check-up revealed that her folic acid levels remain low. She was experiencing fatigue, weakness, pale skin, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
