Patient's question:
What is the normal folic acid level for pregnant women?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to what you said. Folic acid is very important for fetal development, and it is generally recommended to supplement it appropriately when preparing to have a child, for preconception. The Chinese Nutrition Society recommends a daily intake of 600ug of folic acid during pregnancy, with a maximum intake of 1000ug per day; Folic acid should be taken three months before pregnancy and continued until breastfeeding is completed. Generally, folic acid tablets can treat a deficiency of folic acid. Folic acid prevents neural tube defects in the fetus (anencephaly, spina bifida), with an effectiveness rate of 85%.
