Is it true that a lot of people who have a hard time getting pregnant have low levels of folic acid?
assistant
Yes, it is true. Folate (folic acid) is a B vitamin found in many foods, including leafy greens, legumes, and fortified breakfast cereals. Low folate levels can lead to infertility problems. Women who are planning to become pregnant should take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy.
