Every woman planning to get pregnant should take 400 micrograms (400 mcg or 0.4 mg) of folic acid daily. Either in a vitamin with 400 micrograms of folic acid or foods that have been enriched with folic acid. Once you become pregnant the dosage should be increased to at least 600 mcg, however your doctor may recommend 1000 mcg, and most prenatal vitamins contain this amount. I take Centrum Materna myself and it has 1000 mcg or 1 mg of folic Acid, and its once Daily. | |
