400 mcg Folic Acid
What Every Woman Between Ages 11-45 Should Know…
Did you know that you can reduce your baby’s risk of spina bifida, a common birth defect, by taking a multivitamin with folic acid and eating a healthy diet?
Even if you’re not pregnant, or not planning to get pregnant, you need to take a multivitamin with 400 mcg folic acid every day. The early stages of pregnancy are the most important in a baby’s development. Many women don’t know they are pregnant right away and more than 50% of all pregnancies are unplanned. By the time you find out you’re pregnant, your baby may already be at risk for this preventable birth defect.
