Do you know the importance of folic acid?

Folic acid Is very important to any woman in childbearing years. Whether you are trying to conceive or not, it's recommended that every woman take at least 400mcg of folic acid to prevent neural tube defects. Neural tube birth defects such as Spina Bifida or Anecephaly have been linked to low levels of folic acid and take place before the woman even knows she is pregnant. Also vitamin C helps absorb the folic acid so it can be used properly. Always spread awareness, it may be the first step to a cure!
