Taking folic acid scientifically is the first step when planning for pregnancy. It is recommended to start taking 400-800 micrograms of folic acid daily three months before conception, and continue until three months into pregnancy. Folic acid effectively prevents neural tube defects in the fetus and reduces the risk of birth defects. Foods rich in folic acid include dark green vegetables, legumes, nuts, and more, but the absorption rate of folic acid from food is limited, so taking a folic acid supplement is recommended.
