Folic Acid 1mg (1000mcg) 180 Capsules from All Nature
Folic acid, also known as folate or folacin, is a member of the water-soluble B vitamin family. Folic Acid is a necessary precursor for the production of genertic material like RNA and DNA. Folic Acid also assists in the growth and repair of tissues and in the conversion of fats and amino acids into other useful products in the body. Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune cells, have a high need for folic acid.
Folic acid is particularly important for women of childbearing age as the low levels of it may cause serious consequence to the fetus, including a higher risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Folic acid deficiency results in anemia and also increasing the risk of heart disease. Folic acid deficiency is the most common vitamin deficiency in the world. Folic acid should be replenished daily since our body cannot store it for long periods. Though it can be found in foods such as orange juice, leafy greens and fortified breakfast cereals, half of the folic acid in foods is depleted through cooking, processing and long-term storage, thus supplementation of this vital nutrient is highly recommended.
