ohhh. i read some news on getting supplement on folic acid cause normally we don't get enough from the daily diet. Do u eat that too ?
Ya.. Folic acid can decrease the chance of having a spinal birth defect... If u wan only folic acid u can get from pharmacy any one, they sell individual folic acid.. No need prescription..

i took Blackmores as it is quite comprehensive with all the vitamins and minerals needed. it contain folic acid too.
later at 3rd trimester, i just added on extra DHA with blackmores. i didnt take extra iron pills cos i suffer from constipation.

I was given Similac Pramilet by my gynae. Contains folic acid too. Like an all in one pill (I think?).

Guess my gynae has little trust in the benefits in spirulina haha, and the nutrients may be overlapping with the prenatal dha that i'm already taking.
