Tutorial - Part I

Don't assume that someone else is telling women about folic acid. You may be the only one! Women listen to your advice.

What to say...

"Are you taking folic acid?"

Why?...

Research has shown that the B-vitamin folic acid reduces the risk of birth defects like Spina Bifida by up to 70%.

Although many genetic and environmental factors play a role in Spina Bifida, women can know they are doing what they can to reduce their risk by taking folic acid every day. The easiest way for women to get the folic acid they need is by taking a multivitamin with folic acid every day.
