Folate is a B vitamin that aids in the development of the brain and spinal cord. Folic acid is the synthetic version of folate found in supplements and fortified meals. Folic acid supplementation has been found to reduce the risk of preterm birth and having a baby that is underweight at birth. Before conception it is required to consume 400 micrograms (mcg) of folate or folic acid per day, and 600 to 1,000 mcg of folate or folic acid per day during pregnancy.
