What are the benefits of folate?
- Folate, folic acid intake peri-
conceptual period - Neural tube defects
- Folate deficiency anemia
Folate. Folate is needed to reduce the risk of NTDs in the fetus; there- fore, folic acid supplementation is recommended prior to and throughout pregnancy, most importantly during the first trimester. Because of the increase in RBC production during pregnancy, as well as the nutritional requirements of the rapidly growing cells in the fetus and placenta, preg- nant women should consume 0.6 mg (600 mcg) of folic acid daily (ACOG, 2017a; NIHODS, 2021b). All women of childbearing potential need care- ful counseling about including good sources of folate in their diets.
