My doctor looked at my prenatal vitamins and suggested I find one with 1000mcg of folic acid or folate? My existing one only had 800 mcg of folic acid.

I since found one that reads folate = 1333 mcg DFE (800 mcg folic acid).

Are folate and folic acid the same thing? What do we really need?

I want to make sure I didn’t replace my vitamin with the same thing

I have an appointment on Wednesday and can ask then, but would love your thoughts in the meantime.
