Taking Folic Acid daily empowers women ages 20-39 to take control of their reproductive health.

Life is full of unpredictable events and life can change at any given time. About 50 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. are not planned, and because many birth defects and fetal health problems occur in the first few weeks after conception, women are not aware that a birth defect has occurred.

It is important that all women in this age group, even those who are NOT trying to get pregnant, take at least 400 micrograms of Folic Acid daily. If not taken before pregnancy and during the first few weeks of pregnancy, the act of taking folic acid will not benefit the baby and prevent a possible birth defect.

In addition, two out of three women take prescription medications daily, many to treat chronic conditions that may impact future pregnancies. Educating women about the health benefits of daily Folic Acid intake along with continued research are the keys in preventing birth defects from happening.
