Bekka - All women who have any possiblility of becoming pregnant should be taking folate supplements. They help prevent neural tube defects. The amount to take is 800 units per day.

Folate is more easily absorbed by the body in supplement form than in food form for 2 reasons:
1) the folate in food can become denatured before you eat it
2) folate in enteric capsules or pills bypasses the stomach and is better absorbed in the duodenum
