FYI: Neural Tube Defects

Let me share with you this portion "What every Mom needs to know" which I've read from my Anmum Mother's Book regarding Neural Tube Defects.

 

What is Neural Tube Defects?

 

 

Neural Tube Defects are birth defects of varying severity that result from disruptions in the development of the neural tube which is the early stage of the spinal cord and nervous system. The neural tube forms in very early in pregnancy right around the time you miss your first menstrual period. Failure of the neural tube to close properly can result in neural tube defects of varying severity, with some neural tube defects being mild and barely noticeable while others are 100% fatal.

 

How can Neural Tube Defects be prevented?

 

Several observational studies showed that 50% or more of NTDs can be prevented if women consume a folic acid-containing supplement before and during the early weeks of pregnancy in addition to the folate in their diet.

 

Anmum Materna specifically helps prevent Neural Tube Defetcs that is why it's important for every pregnant Mom to drink 2 glasses of Anmum milk so as to provide 100% of daily Folate requirement.
