Folate is a critical component for the body but what is it exactly? Folate is a B Vitamin (Vitamin B9) that your body needs to make DNA and other genetic material. Folate is needed to form healthy blood cells, specifically red blood cells. It is an essential prenatal supplement for pre-conception and throughout pregnancy as it supports baby's brain, eye, and nervous system development. Folate is also a key nutrient for your skin, cartilage, teeth, and bone health.

It is essential during postpartum to maintain optimal nutrient intake to feel your best and have the energy to take care of yourself and your new baby. It is recommended that Postnatal Supplements be taken right after delivery and continue usage throughout breastfeeding (if that is what you choose to do) or six months.
