Folic Acid 800 mcg supplies 200% of the recommended dietary intake for folic acid in an easy to swallow tablet. Folic acid is a water-soluble essential B vitamin found in many foods, including leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, and beans. Research has established that supplementation with folic acid before and during the first two months of pregnancy can prevent neural tube defects in developing fetuses in women. The U.S. Public Health Service has recommended that women of childbearing age take a supplement containing 400 mcg of folic acid every day to reduce the risk of a pregnancy affected by neural tube defects.
