National Folic Acid Awareness Week is an awareness campaign by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Folic acid is a B vitamin that is necessary for proper cell growth. If taken before and during early pregnancy, folic acid can prevent up to 70% of neural tube defects within the brain and spine.
The CDC and the U.S. Public Health Service recommend that all women between the ages of 15 and 45 consume 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid daily to prevent two types of neural tube defects: spina bifida and anencephaly.
Since these congenital disabilities develop within the first few weeks of pregnancy, it is essential to have enough folic acid in your body BEFORE becoming pregnant and to continue getting enough folic acid during early pregnancy.
Women need folic acid even if they are not planning to become pregnant, as nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unplanned.
