Folic acid is the synthetic version of the vitamin folate (Vitamin B9), it helps the body make healthy red blood cells. The NHS says Folic acid is used to, treat or prevent folate deficiency anaemia, help in developing your baby's brain, skull and spinal cord in pregnancy and help reduce side effects from methotrexate.

The NHS recommends that you take folic acid as soon as you start trying for a baby (ideally for 3 months before) and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
