Health Tip: Why Take Folic Acid?
While you're pregnant, it's important to get plenty of folic acid to help prevent birth defects.
Here's advice from the Nemours Foundation:
- Women need 400 micrograms of folic acid daily during preconception and during pregnancy to help reduce the risk of neural tube defects (defects of the brain and spine).
- If you don't get enough folic acid in the foods you eat, take a folic acid supplement on the advice of your doctor.
- Getting enough folic acid is especially important for women who have already had a child born with a neural tube defect.
