March of Dimes
 


Supplementation of the B vitamin folic acid in women before conception and during early pregnancy has been shown to reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs). As part of its work to promote folic acid, the March of Dimes offers a number of valuable online resources that healthcare providers can use with their patients.
