Adorable Folic Acid 1 mg, 90 Tablets

Adorable Folic Acid provides 1 mg (1000 mcg) of folic acid per tablet. Folic acid, a B vitamin, is essential for the normal development of a baby's brain, spine and skull. Taking it before conception and in early pregnancy helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects.

Why timing matters

The neural tube forms in the first four weeks of pregnancy, often before people know they're pregnant. That's why health professionals recommend starting folic acid at least three months before trying to conceive.

About the 1 mg strength

Most people planning a pregnancy are advised to take 0.4 mg (400 mcg) a day, usually in a prenatal multivitamin. A 1 mg dose is typically recommended by a health provider for people with certain risk factors. Check with yours to choose the right dose.
