What is folic acid?

Folic Acid is a B vitamin found in green vegetables (such as broccoli), yeast spreads and fortified cereals. Research shows that taking a Folic Acid supplement such as Preconceive 400mcg Tablets Folic Acid before you conceive and during early pregnancy can help to protect your unborn child from neural tube birth defects, such as Spina Bifida.*
