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) by at least 50-70%. 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.
