Folate (Folic Acid)

Needed for blood formation and pregnancy — deficiency is linked to neural tube defects.

Folate helps cells divide and red blood cells form. Women planning a pregnancy are advised to take it months before conceiving.

It is usually ordered with vitamin B12 when the CBC shows large red cells.
