Brief Answer:
Folic acid is the supplement of choice!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
The only supplement that makes a difference in pregnancy when taken before becoming pregnant is folic acid, It is advised you take this 2-3months before becoming pregnant as this significantly reduces the risk of having children born with neurological malformations. Give yourself this window and all would be good.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
