Product Brief:
Folic Acid (also known as folate or folacin) is an important
member of the B vitamin complex.
As Folic Acid is the vitamin most commonly deficient in
human diets, supplementation is vital
to maintaining health.
Folic Acid is widely recognized for its importance in the
development of the fetus.
Several birth defects, such as neural tube defects
(including spinal bifida) can be attributed
to a lack of Folic Acid during pregnancy. It is recommended
that all women of childbearing
age supplement with folic acid prior to conception or at
least very early in their pregnancy,
continuing throughout later stages.
Folic Acid is also beneficial in reducing the concentration
of homocysteine in the body.
High homocysteine levels have been cited as a factor in the
development of arteriosclerosis
and osteoporosis. Homocysteine causes arteriosclerosis by weakening
the walls of blood vessels;
arteriosclerosis can lead to heart attacks or strokes.
