Folic Acid plays a vital role in the healthy development of baby’s nervous system, a process that occurs early in pregnancy. Eating healthful diets with adequate Folic Acid may reduce a woman’s risk of having a baby born with a neural tube defect. Pregnant women (and those looking to become pregnant) should consume 600 mcg Folic Acid per day, while breastfeeding women should consume 500 mcg per day. Nature Made Prenatal Multi + Choline Capsules has clinically proven absorption of Folic Acid & Iron.†
