Why Do Pregnant Women Take Folic Acid?
Folic Acid supplements are standard for pregnant women, as well as women who plan on becoming pregnant. Folic Acid has been found to reduce the risk of certain birth defects by as much as 50% or more. It may also lower the risk of early labor.
Is Folic Acid the Same Thing as Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid are two types of B Complex Vitamins that the body needs for a variety of functions. Folate, also known as Folic Acid or Vitamin B9 cannot be produced by the body and must be supplemented or taken in via diet.
Directions
