Why is Folic Acid important for us?
It is known that sufficient folate intake right before and just after a woman becomes pregnant can help to prevent neural birth defects. Neural tube defects produce malformations of the spine, skull, and brain including spina bifida and anencephaly.
The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet BEFORE and during the FIRST FEW WEEKS OF PREGNANCY, often before a women knows she is pregnant.
Since some pregnancies may be unplanned, it's important that all women of childbearing age (even if not trying to get pregnant) get the recommended daily amount of folic acid. This can be achieve easily via your daily multi-vits, check the label to ensure it contains folic acid or folate.
