Just what I’ve been looking for!
A informative post. Folates are the most important vitamins in the peri-conceptional period, especially for prevention of neural tube defects. Neural tube defects are a class of defects of the brain and spine which leads to major birth defects like spinaa bifida and meningocele. It is therefore necessary to provide folic acid supplemets during pregnancy. From the moment you know that you are pregnant start taking 5 mg of folic acid everyday. Folic acid is harmless and can be consumed without fear of over dose. Some of the natural sources of folic acid include gree leafy vegetables and animal products like liver.
