    The lack of folic acid in pregnant women can cause the two most common and severe fetal malformations (spinal spina bifida and anencephaly), collectively called neural tube malformations. Folic acid supplementation can not only prevent fetal malformation, a large number of studies also support, supplementation of folic acid can also help fetal intelligence development. Therefore, supplementation of folic acid by pregnant women has become a consensus.
