What brand of vitamin E should I take when trying to conceive?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

All of the above. Women of childbearing age should start taking 400 micrograms of folic acid daily three months before pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Taking folic acid can prevent 80% of neural tube defect births. It is especially important for those with a history of neural tube defects in their children to take it. You can stop taking folic acid after the third month of pregnancy. Of course, if you do not have a history of neural tube defects in your children and do not have a poor diet, you may not need to take it.
