Do I need to take folic acid supplements only when I’m pregnant?

It’s recommended to consume folate supplements when you’re trying to conceive and when you’re pregnant thereafter.

It’s important to build up your reserves of folic acid while trying to conceive. Not only does an adequate intake of folic acid support healthy ovulation, but it also plays a crucial role in the development of the baby’s cells and tissues during pregnancy, reducing the risk of certain birth defects, such as neural tube defects.
