Vitamin: Yes, sysfol vitamins contain folic acid and other vitamins. Folic acid is important in decreasing the risk of neural tube defects (spinal cord defects) in pregnancy. We like for all women having unprotected sex to be on a vitamin with folic acid because it is important to reduce birth defects.
