Folic acid / folate at age 40
My husband and I are going to start trying for our last child.
Could someone please give me the current advice on the amount of folic acid/folate I should be taking in preparation (I am 40 years old).
Also, given this info (and that I have never had a child with any neural tube defects), which form should I use...or does it matter? The current bottle I have is Folic Acid 800 mcg (Walmart’s brand), but I’ll get whatever is recommended!
I have searched, but finding conflicting and unclear posts so I thought I would just directly ask. Thanks in advance!
