Neural tube closure happens in the third and fourth weeks of pregnancy — frequently before a woman knows she is pregnant — which is why the advice is to start supplementing while trying to conceive rather than once a test comes back positive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuest Prenatal Multi carries a daily dose of 1 mg of folic acid, and it is a multivitamin and mineral supplement for the maintenance of good health that helps to reduce the risk of neural tube defects when taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the folic acid sits a full multivitamin and mineral profile, including iron — requirements for which climb steeply during pregnancy as blood plasma volume expands. In a vegetable capsule, 100 per bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDosing is one capsule three times daily with a meal. Quest is a Canadian brand, manufacturing vitamins and minerals in Canada.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Quest Prenatal Multi with 1mg Folic Acid Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for women trying to conceive and in early pregnancy, and the emphasis on 'trying to conceive' is deliberate — starting after a positive test may already be late for the neural tube window. It also suits anyone whose practitioner has recommended 1 mg of folic acid specifically rather than the lower amounts in a general multivitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt contains iron, so keep it well away from children. Dosing is three capsules daily with meals, so a 100-capsule bottle is around a month. Pregnancy supplementation should be discussed with your health care practitioner, who may have specific views on dose and on what else you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuest Prenatal Multi with 1mg Folic Acid Features and Benefits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1mg Daily Dose of Folic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e — The prenatal-level dose, above what a general multivitamin provides.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelps Reduce the Risk of Neural Tube Defects\u003c\/strong\u003e — When taken daily prior to becoming pregnant and during early pregnancy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Multivitamin and Mineral Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — Not folic acid alone, but a complete daily foundation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContains Iron\u003c\/strong\u003e — Requirements climb steeply in pregnancy as blood plasma volume expands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVegetable Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e — Suitable for those avoiding gelatin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Before and During Pregnancy\u003c\/strong\u003e — Designed to be started while trying to conceive, not after a positive test.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e — Around a month at the full three-capsule daily dose.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-section\" id=\"faq-quest-prenatal-multi-100-vegetable-capsules\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ What is Quest Prenatal Multi?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eA multivitamin and mineral supplement with a 1 mg daily dose of folic acid, in a vegetable capsule. 100 capsules per bottle.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003e➕ How much do I take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left:25px; margin-top:5px; padding-bottom:10px;\"\u003eAdults 19 years and older: 1 capsule three times daily with a meal.
