During Folic Acid Awareness Week, we’re highlighting one simple step every woman of reproductive age can take: getting enough folic acid daily.
This essential B-vitamin plays a major role in early fetal development, helping to reduce the risk of major neural tube defects (such as spina bifida) by up to 70%.
Quick facts to keep in mind:
• The Target: 400 mcg of folic acid daily for anyone who could become pregnant.
• Timing Matters: Neural tube development happens in the very first weeks of pregnancy—often before you even know you're expecting.
• Where to Find It: Fortified grains, leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, or a daily prenatal vitamin/supplement.
