Folic acid plays an important role for women who may become pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant. The intake of folic acid during the periconceptional period (the time just before and just after a woman become pregnant) helps to protect against many neural tube defects like spina bifida and other malformations of the skull and brain. We offer a wide range of folic acid supplements that will help insure you are getting the correct amount of folic acid in your diet. Recent research has also shown that it is now important for men who are planning on father children to take folic acid as well as it can help reduce chromosomal defects in their sperm.
