Taking folic acid supplements is important for at least a month prior to conception and throughout pregnancy to support the healthy development of your baby’s nervous system. It plays a role in the production of genetic material (DNA and RNA), and is required for cellular division. Foetal cells undergo constant cell division, so women need increased levels of folate during pregnancy. Taking folic acid inadequately may interfere with the development of baby’s nervous system.
