When should I start taking folic acid supplements?

Folic acid supplements are available in many countries over the counter from pharmacies and supermarkets, and through your doctor at varying doses. Some women need more folate than others. Talk to your doctor about what dose of folic acid is right for you.

Generally, when trying to get pregnant or in the early months of pregnancy, you will need to look for supplements that contain at least 400 micrograms of folic acid. These will generally be supplements that contain only folic acid or special pregnancy supplements. Although many multivitamins targeted at pregnant women may contain folic acid, it’s important to check you are getting the recommended dose.

The best way to guarantee you get enough folic acid is to take a daily folic acid supplement at least 1 month before and until 3 months after conception. You don’t need to take folic acid supplements after that.
