About Folic Acid
1. What is folic acid?
Folic acid is a B-vitamin essential for the healthy development of the fetus, brain and skull during the early weeks of pregnancy.
2. What is the difference between folic acid and folate?
Folate and folic acid are B-vitamins, however folate is the form which is naturally found in foods and folic acid is the synthetic compound used to fortify food and is used in prenatal multivitamins. Folic acid is a more active form of this B-vitamin than its natural counterpart, folate.
3. Why should I take folic acid before I get pregnant?
Spina bifida and other neural tube defects (NTDs) occur between the 3rd and 4th week of fetal development, a time when most women don't even know that they are pregnant. As 50% of all pregnancies are unplanned, all women of childbearing age should consider consuming folic acid every day in order to help prevents NTDs. Folic Acid helps reduce the risk of birth defects by more than 70% if taken before pregnancy.
4. What is the recommended levels of folic acid for pregnancy?
The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) pregnancy is 0.6 mg however, most prenatal vitamins will provide up to 1mg of folic acid.
5. Where can I get folic acid?
Folate can be found naturally in such foods as green leafy vegetables, red kidney beans, chicken liver and corn however it is difficult to get the entire amount from food. For example, you would have to consume 2 cups of spinach each day to meet the daily requirements for folate (folic acid). Taking a prenatal multivitamin such as Materna which has 1 mg of folic acid provides the insurance that you are getting the daily requirement.
6. What are Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) spina bifida and anencephaly?
Neural tube defects are birth defects that affect the brain (anencephaly) and/or spinal cord (spina bifida). NTDs occur when the tissues that form the brain and spinal cord, fail to develop properly. These defects occur in the first four weeks after conception - usually before a woman even knows she's pregnant.
