Folic Acid

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a B-vitamin especially important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it's known to help prevent 50 to 75 percent of birth defects known as neural tube defects. Folic acid is also important for maintenance of a healthy nervous system and new red blood cell formation. While folic acid is often added to multi-vitamins, folic acid supplements may also be taken separately. The recommended dose for all women of childbearing age is at least 400 mcg of folic acid daily. Vitacost.com carries folic acid vitamins in doses up to 1,000 mcg per serving.
