How	Can	Women	Get	Enough	Folic	Acid?
There are three ways women can get enough folic acid	to	prevent	spina	bifida	and	anencephaly.		They	can	 choose to:
1.	 Take	a	vitamin	supplement	containing		 	 400 micrograms of folic acid daily.
2.	 Eat	a	fortified	breakfast	cereal	daily	which contains 100% of the recommended daily amount of folic acid (400 micrograms).
3. Increase consumption of foods fortified with folic acid (e.g., “enriched” cereal, bread, rice, pasta, and other grain products) in addition to consuming food folate from a varied diet (e.g., orange juice and green vegetables).
