Most experts recommend that women of
childbearing years should take 400
micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily
(and that's if you're NOT pregnant), from
fortified foods and/or a daily
multi-vitamin, and eat a variety of foods
as part of a healthy diet. The easiest way
to be sure to get the recommended daily
amount of folic acid is to take a
multi-vitamin every day or a plain folic
acid pill. Since folic acid helps to build
healthy cells, it's a good idea for
everyone to take it every day but the
multi-vitamin is up to you (I think it's a
good idea, personally)...

That's good news. Chronic joint pain is
NO FUN! How did your prenatal appointment
go? Did the doc recommend any vitamins?

I hear you --- but that's about $1 a day
--- and it's for the health of the little
one. And health is the most important of
all!
