A member asked:

Is it best to take folic acid or folate when you want to get pregnant? and is it needed to combine it with other vitamines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get a referral to an OB physician for guidance, who will prescribe prenatal vitamins and suggest taking them prior to an attempt for pregnancy. These vitamins have folic acid within.
