Did you know that you can prevent at least 50 percent of neural tube birth defects just by taking FOLIC ACID before you get pregnant ?

It is one of the best things you can do for your future baby.
And you can start TODAY!

The Louisiana Folic Acid Council seeks to promote the use of folic acid among all women of child bearing age in order to prevent birth defects. Preventing these neural tube birth defects saves a woman and her family from possibly losing a fetus or an infant, or from giving birth to a child who will be forever affected by their defect.

FOLIC ACID is a B vitamin that aids in proper cell growth. The United States Public Health Service recommends that all women of childbearing age take 400 micrograms (0.4mg) of folic acid daily. The best way to get this amount is to take a supplement or a multivitamin, but there are also many foods that are good sources of folic acid. Since more than half of all pregnancies are unplanned it is important that women take folic acid NOW, before they even begin thinking about having a baby!
