Folate supplements prevent recurrence of neural tube defects

No authors listed. Nutr Rev. 1992 Jan.

Abstract

In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind intervention study, 4 mg of folate daily given around the time of conception significantly reduced the recurrence of neural tube defects. Supplementation with a folate-free multiple vitamin did not reduce the recurrence rate.
