Folic acid before conception is a standard, well supported step for reducing certain birth defect risks. The right strength and tablet for you should come from your doctor or pharmacist, not a general figure.
Next Steps
Ask your gynaecologist or pharmacist to recommend the folic acid strength suited to your health history and any other supplements you take.
Health Tips
Avoid picking a random strength off the shelf on your own, since your ideal starting point can vary.
