Folic acid is a B vitamin. Folic acid helps the body make healthy
new cells.
All women need folic acid. When a woman has enough folic acid
before and during pregnancy, it can help prevent major birth defects
of her baby's brain or spine.
Be sure to get enough folic acid every day. Start before you are
pregnant. Folic acid is needed during the first few weeks, often
before a woman knows she is pregnant. And half of all pregnancies
in the U.S. are not planned. That is why it's so important to start
taking folic acid each day, even when you are not planning to get
pregnant.
Folic acid might also have other benefits for men and women of
any age. Some studies show that folic acid might help prevent heart
disease, stroke, some cancers, and possibly Alzheimer's disease
