Description
Folic acidprovides 100% of the recommended daily intake of folate. Women who consume healthful diets with adequate folate throughout their childbearing years may reduce their risk of having a child with a birth defect of the brain or spinal cord. So it must be taken before and during early pregnancy when the neural tube is developing. When the neural tube does not close properly, a baby is born with a very serious birth defect called a neural tube defect (NTD). About 3,000 pregnancies are affected by NTDs each year in the United States. If all women took adequate
folic acid before conception and during pregnancy, up to 70 percent of NTDs could be prevented.
Folic acid is a B vitamin that plays an important role DNA and RNA synthesis, production of red blood cells and maintenance of the nervous system. Some studies suggest that folic acid may also protect women and men from heart disease, stroke, colon cancer and breast cancer.
Food sources of folic acid include meat, dark leafy greens, oranges and orange juice, beans and peas. Brewer's yeast is also a good source of folic acid and other B vitamins.
