Were you taking folate or folic acid before conceiving?

Question

I am hoping to start TTC next month but the prenatal I’ve been taking contains folate. I’m reading that folic acid is the only version that’s been scientifically studied to prevent neural tube defects, so now I’m wondering if I need to switch to folic acid or if my current prenatal is fine. Curious what others have done. Have your doctors given any recommendations about this?

Answer

Folate is the natural version found in food and folic acid is the artificial version in tablet form, both are the exact same and make no difference.
