  Bloomees is committed to shopping for a cause. We are a fundraiser for the March of Dimes as well as for other groups large and small. In keeping with this ideal, all earnings from non-members plus a portion of ALL sales on this site will be sent to the March of Dimes to help save the lives of babies. The March of Dimes encourages all women of childbearing age to take a multivitamin containing 400 micrograms of folic acid every day, as part of a healthy diet. Most multivitamins have this amount, but check the label to be sure. A healthy diet includes foods that contain folate, the natural form of the vitamin. Such foods include fortified breakfast cereals, beans, leafy green vegetables and orange juice. Folic Acid: Folic acid, a B vitamin, helps prevent birth defects of the brain and spinal cord when taken very early in pregnancy. It is available in most multivitamins, as a folic acid-only supplement and in some foods. |
