Folic acid, Known as folate in its natural form is a water-soluble vitamin, which means you need it in your diet every day because it can't be stored in the body. One of the benefits of taking folic acid and other B Vitamins is that they may help to remove homocysteine an abnormal protein byproductfrom your blood. Too much homocysteine can cause serious artery and heart damage. Most people should be able to get the amount they need by eating a varied and balanced diet. Adults need 0.2 mg a day. However, if you are pregnant or thinking of having a baby you should take a daily 0.4 mg 400 microgram folic acid supplement from the time you stop using contraception until the 12th week of pregnancy. This is to help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida. If you have already had a pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect, a higher dose is recommended. Speak to your GP for more advice.
