There are two ways to increase your folate intake. The first is by consuming lots of folate-rich foods. Examples include dark leafy greens, broccoli, citrus fruits, peas, beans, and lentils. You can also take methylated folate supplements. These are different from folic acid supplements because your body can use the folate in them without having to metabolize it. My favorite source for this kind of folate is in the Prenatal Pro Essential Packets.
