folic acid

[twiladawn]

I was just wondering if anyone knew if folic acid is taken during pregnancy would it still help an adult?

[twiladawn]

what i mean is if your not pregnant and an adult would it help lol

I don't think so. I have never read anywhere that it is believed to have a use as far as SB is concerned beyond the formation of the spinal cord during pregnancy.

hi twialdawn
After my son with sb was born, I was prescribed folic acid, and so was my baby, they kept him on a vitamin b complex for years saying this will help save nerves etc. not sure if its true or not, but we did as the doctor said. today at 9 years old, he is doing well, thank God
