January is National Birth Defects Prevention Month.
Folic acid is important because it can help prevent some major birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine. If you plan to or could become pregnant, you should consume 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid every day to ensure your baby’s proper development and growth.
You can get folic acid from:
✅A varied diet.
✅Taking a vitamin that has folic acid in it.
✅Eating fortified foods.
✅Getting a combination of the two: taking a vitamin that has folic acid in it and eating fortified foods.
