Well, technically yes, however a pregnant woman should be taking a prenatal vitamin which includes the folic acid, and other essential vitamins as well. They include much-needed iron, since our bodies need more and the baby as well. When a woman is not pregnant, it is still a good idea to be taking folic acid daily in case she becomes pregnant, since it helps prevent spinal deformities.

All prenatal vitamins in the us have all the folic acid you and your baby need.

The recommendation is 400 micrograms, which is 0.4 miligrams, preferably taken 1 month prior to conception, during pregnancy, and for 3 months afterwards.
