If you’re trying to conceive, either on your own or through fertility treatment, there is no doubt that taking vitamin B9 (folic acid) is a great place to start. But why? RMA’s Dr. Jackie Gutmann tells you everything you need to know about this super-vitamin.
Knowing when to take folic acid and in what quantity will ensure you start your fertility journey on the best possible foot.
The CDC and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) urge women to take 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid daily for one month before trying to conceive.
Everybody is different when it comes to fertility and the likelihood of conceiving. Folic acid supplements when taken as part of a multivitamin are associated with an increased likelihood of pregnancy. They are also essential nutrients that every woman should take when planning to get pregnant. So kick off your day with a green smoothie, freshly squeezed orange juice, or a handful of almonds. You’ll be glad you did!
