Hi online friends! I recently read something about Anencephaly, and I heard that there is a link between folic acid and decreasing Anencephaly rates. Can anyone tell me how this works? How does folic acid prevent Anencephaly exactly? I guess this has really brought things home to me about how important folic acid is when you are trying to conceive! Thanks for any info in advance.
What does folic acid do in Anencephaly?
