Folic Acid
Folic Acid (L-methylfolate) delivers 400 mcg of , the active form of folate / folic acid] in one daily tablet, the dose recommended for every woman who is pregnant or might become pregnant.
Folate builds your baby's brain and spinal cord in the first weeks of pregnancy, often before you know you are expecting. It also supports your own red blood cell production, nerve function and heart health, which is why it matters whether or not a pregnancy is on the horizon.
One tablet a day. Start before you conceive, not after.
Why Use It
Folate is the one supplement where timing matters more than dose.
Your baby's neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, closes within roughly the first four weeks of pregnancy. Most women do not know they are pregnant that early. By the time a test shows two lines, the window this vitamin exists to protect has usually already passed.
That is why every guideline says the same thing: begin folate before you conceive, not when you find out. In Pakistan this carries extra weight, because our reported rates of neural tube defects are among the highest in the world, and because folate status in the general diet here is low to begin with. This is a cheap tablet standing between a common deficiency and a permanent one.

What it does:
Why the active form L-methylfolate matters? Ordinary folic acid is not what your body uses. It has to be converted first, and that conversion depends on an enzyme called MTHFR. A significant proportion of people carry a genetic variation that makes them poor converters, and they will not know it unless they have been tested. L-methylfolate is folate that has already been converted, so it works regardless of which version of that gene you carry.
