L-Methylfolate|Dosage of Pregnancy

The US Public Health Service recommends that women of childbearing age take L-Methylfolate 400 mcg daily. Many studies suggest more intake of L-Methylfolate, especially at least 3 months before and during pregnancy and lactation. After the pregnancy’s first 3 months, 4 mg of L-Methylfolate is recommended in high-risk women. Then a normal dosage of 400 mg is enough.
