    Women take folic acid a lot. To prevent birth defects in newborns, pregnant women must take 400 micrograms of folic acid during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. The study also found that folic acid supplementation for women can reduce the incidence of macular degeneration. After taking folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 for two years, it can delay organ aging.
