Folic Acid

 

Got a Question?


Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B-9, is a water-soluble vitamin that helps synthesize nucleic acids such as RNA and DNA. Necessary for red blood cell production, growth, and reproduction, folic acid also is an essential nutrient during pregnancy and has been shown to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (birth defects affecting the brain and/or spinal cord). The U.S. Public Health Service recommends 400 mcg of folic acid daily for women of childbearing age. The vitamin is found in brewer's yeast, liver, and green leafy vegetables. It is most effective when taken in conjunction with B-Complex, B-12, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid, and Vitamin C. Folic acid is needed for normal growth and development and for red blood cell formation. It may reduce the risk of cancer and may be helpful in the treatment of anemia, arthritis, cervical dysplasia, cardiovascular disease, gingivitis, kidney disease, and multiple sclerosis.
