Dr. Approved Folic Acid Supplement
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) is a water-soluble vitamin from the B-complex of vitamins and is the most common deficiency amongst the B-complex. Because it is water-soluble the body cannot store it but instead excretes any excess from the body making sufficient daily intake necessary.
In the the body, Folic Acid plays several important roles. Along with Vitamin B12, Folic Acid works to regulate the formation of red blood cells and to help iron function properly in the body. Folic Acid works with Vitamin C and B12 to metabolize protein. It is also important for its use in the formation of the nucleic acid of DNA and RNA.
Folic acid along with Vitamins B6 and B12 helps break down homocysteine, an amino acid. Elevated levels of homocysteine have been associated as a risk factor for strokes, heart disease and osteoporosis. Research also seems to indicate that folic acid may benefit in the treatment of cervical dysplasia. Reference:
Folic acid is essential for human health, especially for the developing fetus. It is important for child-bearing women to get enough folic acid because a healthy diet with adequate folate can reduce a woman's risk of having a child with brain or spinal cord birth defects. References:
