Question

Is it good to have a drink which contains soy protein, hi-maize, vitamin (a c B6 b12), thiamin b1, niacin b3, folate, (folic acid) sodium, potassium in pregnancy ?

Answer 1

Folic acid: Hi, if there is no family history of Spina Bifida or birth defect and you don't take anti seizure medication 0.4mg of Folic acid a day is enough. Good luck.
