“Any good quality folic acid supplement is fine—brand is less important than the dose. You can take 400–800 mcg daily while planning pregnancy. Common options include folic acid or prenatal vitamins with folate. Start at least 1–3 months before conception and continue as advised by your doctor.”

Suggesting brands is not appropriate via public platforms. You should meet a gynaec for a pre-conceptional evaluation and advise on supplements etc to optimise your outcome
