Description

Each small tablet provides 400 micrograms of folic acid, the form of folate used in supplements. Health authorities advise all women who could become pregnant to get 400 micrograms of folic acid a day, because taking it before conception and in early pregnancy helps prevent neural tube defects in babies. Folate also contributes to normal blood formation.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start folic acid if I am planning a pregnancy?

Health authorities advise taking it before you conceive and through early pregnancy. Because many pregnancies are unplanned, the advice applies to all women who could become pregnant.

Is folic acid the same as folate?

Folate is the name for the vitamin as it occurs in food. Folic acid is the form used in supplements and fortified foods.
