Facts:
Vital nutrition for heart-health and more! Folic acid
not only provides protection for the cardiovascular
system by helping control harmful homocysteine, it
also plays an essential role in prenatal nutrition.
According to the U.S. Public Health Service, a diet
supplying 400 mcg of folic acid per day may reduce a
woman’s risk of having a child with birth defects of
the brain or spinal cord.

INFORMATION

Folic acid is a member of the water soluble B
vitamin family, it is also known as folacin or folate.
Its name is derived from the Latin word folium which
means foliage. It was first discovered in the
‘40’s when it was extracted from spinach. It
should be replenished daily due to the fact that the
body cannot store it for long periods of time. Folic
acid is of particular importance for women of
childbearing age as there can be serious consequences
for the fetus when folic acids levels are too low.
These consequences include a higher risk of neural
tube defects such as spina bifida. Low folic acid
levels are linked to an increased risk of heart
disease through an increase in homocysteine. Folic
acid deficiency is the most common vitamin deficiency
in the world. 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.
Our Folic Acid is available in 800 mcg vegetarian
tablets.
