How important is...

Folic acid? Whilst ttc I mean. How many of you take it? I have got some, but only take it after ovulation if I think I could be pregnant. Why is it so important to take it while your ttc?

Hi. I believe it is important for development of cells and of the spine and you should take 400mg (one tablet) a day I think. I am TTC and have started to take it.

In an ideal world you would start taking it 3m before you start TTC

I was advised to take it 3 months before conception happened so started it months in advance. It's vital for baby's developement you must take it at least till 12 weeks although I'm taking it through my pregnancy and breastfeeding stages. I'll switch to a regular multi-vit once I've stopped breastfeeding. Till then I'll continue with the sanatogen pro-natal, if your thinking babies then start taking folic acid!! It's VERY important!!

I take sanatogens pre-pregnancy as it has the necessary folic acid in it aswell as some other goodies

It is best to take it while trying as it takes a while to build up in your system
