Power Your Life

Folic acid is very important because when taken before and during pregnancy, it can help prevent some major birth defects of the baby‘s brain and spine. 

Folic acid is in some foods, but getting the right amount every day from food can be hard. The best way to get the right amount is to take a multivitamin that has at least 400 mcg of folic acid every day.

Unplanned pregnancies can happen, even when you use some form of birth control. This is why even if you’re not planning to get pregnant, you should make sure you get enough folic acid everyday.
