do girls need to start folic acid as soon as they get married if they want to conceive early?? If yes, which folic acid tablets to take
tab maxfol one daily
Yes, ideally it should be started 3 months before pregnancy. Recommended dose is 400 microgram once daily
I recommend that you prepare your body for pregnancy through a proper diet first. Did you know certain nutrient deficiencies (e.g., zinc) in mothers is linked to the development of learning disorders in children? Certain foods also contain folic acid. I would recommend balancing your diet on the side as supplements can contain very concentrated forms of the nutrient also.

they should start folic acid if they plan for pregnancy but this does not help on concievg but it prevent risk of defects in baby if she gets pregnant and
