How much folate should you take a day?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends 600 micrograms (mcg) of folate per day during pregnancy — with at least 400 mcg DFE (dietary folate equivalent) of that coming from supplemental folate starting at least one month preconception through at least the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.

Many providers (including myself as a nutritionist) also recommend continuing to supplement your folate levels through the rest of pregnancy and postpartum to meet the continued increase of nutritional needs.
