Folic acid?

Question

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I've recently found out that I'm pregnant but I'm confused as to how much folic acid I should take. Some people say 400mcg and others say 800mcg. Any advice please 🙏. Also is there anything else that is recommended?
Thanks

Answer

A prenatal is all you need unless you have a deficiency in folic acid for example MRHFR mutation then you would need to take a prenatal and extra folic acid. Talk with your doctor to see what you need.

Answer

Any standard prenatal vitamin will have enough folic acid. You don't need to take an additional supplement.

Answer

It’s better to ask your doctor, also they can prescribe them to you

Answer

Just get a prenatal and make sure the folate is methylated so it actually absorbs well unlike traditional folic acid.

Answer

Just get a prenatal.
