Folic acid, also known as folate and folacin from dietary sources, is essential in cell division, DNA synthesis, and the manufacturing of brain chemicals, or neurotransmitters in the body.

Without adequate levels of folic acid, cells do not divide properly. Folic acid is vital to the development of the nervous system of a fetus.

A deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy has been linked to several birth defects, such as the neural tube defect spina bifida.

Therefore, it is critical for women of child-bearing age to consume 400 mcg of folic acid per day.

Folic acid plays a role in maintaining healthy homocysteine levels in the blood. Although more research is needed to confirm its effects, high homocysteine in the blood may potentially affect heart health.

Folic acid is recommended to be part of a daily regimen for Women’s Health, Stress, Heart Health, Mood/Emotional Well-Being, Prenatal.
