Folate (also known as folic acid) is a B vitamin that is important for the formation of cells and genetic material. It has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in babies, such as spina bifida, when taken before and during early pregnancy. Niacin (A) is important for energy metabolism, ascorbic acid (C) is vitamin C and important for immune function and wound healing, and cyanocobalamin (D) is vitamin B12 and important for nerve function and red blood cell production, but none of these are specifically linked to reducing neural tube defects.
