The best time to take folic acid will depend on the situation of the individual pregnant woman. Many specialists advise taking folic acid first thing in the morning, i.e. at breakfast. However, if the pregnant woman suffers from morning sickness and vomiting, it is best to take folic acid in the evening.

Therefore, this vitamin can be taken at any time of the day without any problem, but it is advisable to follow the specialist's instructions.
