What is folic acid?

Folic acid is a synthetic form of vitamin B9, also known as folate. It’s an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including cell division and the formation of DNA.

Why does the body need fol ate?

Folate is necessary for cell division, DNA synthesis, and tissue growth. It’s particularly important during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy, as it helps prevent neural tube defects and supports the development of the baby’s spine and brain.

Why should women start taking folic acid before they become pregnant?

Starting to take folic acid before pregnancy is important because neural tube defects can occur in the earliest stages of fetal development, often before a woman even knows she’s pregnant. Taking folic acid before conception helps reduce the risk of these defects and supports early fetal growth.
