from my understanding you are better off
getting a prescription from your doctor
because the one over the counter does not
have enough milligrams. The prescription
one is most preferred by doctors. It is
being used to prevent down's syndrome in.

Me and my husband are trying for a third
child and
I always take folic acid from over the
counter and when you do come out pregnant
your doctor prescribes you with prenatal
vitamins. Prenatal vitamins pretty much
contain all the good stuff inside the pill
to make your baby healthy. I am taking
folic acid w/800 milligrams & I thank
the lord that my kids have come out
healthy. Hope this helped. Good luck
with ttc. I will know if I am pregnant by
the end of this week. :d
