Study links higher vitamin B12 levels in mothers and fathers to fewer birth defects

A new study suggests that vitamin B12 levels in both parents before conception may influence the risk of birth defects. The research indicates that higher levels of vitamin B12 in both mothers and fathers are associated with a lower incidence of birth defects in their children. The study analyzed the relationship between vitamin levels in both parents and the risk of malformations at birth. This discovery highlights the importance of the nutritional status of both parents in the period before conception for the health of the future baby.
