I have never in my life taken supplements for anything and the concept is a bit odd (surely you can get everything you need from food if you eat healthily?) but ttc now and people are telling me I need to take supplements (especially folic acid). Maybe I'm being a tad cynical but doesn't it just give you expensive wee if you are eating a healthy diet! (Obviously supplements are important if you are actually deficient)
I know folate/folic acid is important for prevent NTD but can't you genuinely get enough from food?
