Mason Natural Folate 400 Mcg, Support Cardiovascular Health.

Folate is a pregnancy superhero! Taking a prenatal vitamin with the recommended 400 micrograms (mcg) of Folate before and during pregnancy can help prevent birth defects of your baby's brain and spinal cord. Take it every day and go ahead and have a bowl of fortified cereal, too.   What Is Folate?   Folate is a man-made form of a B vitamin called folate. Folate plays an important role in the production of red blood cells and helps your baby's neural tube develop into her brain and spinal cord. Birth defects occur within the first 3-4 weeks of pregnancy. So it's important to have folate in your system during those early stages when your baby's brain and spinal cord are developing.   If you talked to your doctor when you were trying to conceive, she probably told you to start taking a prenatal vitamin with Folate. One study showed that women who took Folate for at least a year before getting pregnant cut their chances of delivering early by 50% or more.   The CDC recommends that you start taking folate every day for at least a month before you become pregnant, and every day while you are pregnant. However, the CDC also recommends that all women of childbearing age take Folate every day. So you'd be fine to start taking it even earlier.
