Folic Acid

Folate (vitamin B9) is essential for normal DNA synthesis, cell division, and the formation of red blood cells. For women planning a pregnancy, adequate folate intake is associated with supporting normal fetal development — making it one of the most important preconception nutritional priorities.


Folate supplementation is widely recommended to begin at least one month before conception — ideally several months prior. Methylfolate is the active form and may be preferable for those with certain genetic variations affecting nutrient conversion. Always confirm the right amount for your circumstances with your midwife or healthcare provider.
