folic acid

[Guest guest]

Folic acid is very important for women of childbearing

age because the fetus needs folic acid before the

woman has a clue she is pregnant--something like the

18th day. Most pregnancies are accidental, so even if

you aren't trying to get pregnant, this is a good

idea.
