Description
Folic acid is a member of the B complex family
of vitamins and is also known as folate. Folic
acid functions as a coenzyme in DNA and RNA
synthesis and is therefore important for healthy
cell division and replication. It is required for
energy production and the formation of red
blood cells.
Folic acid is an important vitamin during
pregnancy. It helps regulate embryonic and
fetal nerve cell formation, which is vital for
normal development. It can help prevent
neural tube birth defects (such as spina bifida)
if taken prior to and during the first trimester
of pregnancy.
Along with vitamins B12 and C, it is involved
in protein metabolism and has been used in
the prevention and treatment of folic acid
anemia. It also plays a role in a healthy
circulatory system by decreasing levels of
homocysteine, an amino acid by-product
that can harm the cardiovascular system by
damaging the lining of the blood vessel walls.
Supplemental folic acid is more bioavailable
than folic acid from food – Folic Acid is
an important factor in the maintenance
of good health.
Benefits
Helps support normal early fetal development. Helps produce red
blood cells. A factor in the maintenance of good health.
How to use

Disclaimer
Consult a health care practitioner if you think you may have a vitamin B12 deficiency
as folic acid supplementation can mask such a deficiency. Keep out of reach of children.
