Folic Acid 250 Tabs
Folic acid is part of a group of water-soluble B vitamins. It is also known as folacin or folic acid. The name derives from the Latin word folium - leaf and was first discovered in the 40s.
It should be renewed every day because the body does not keep it for a long time. Folic acid is very important for women of childbearing age, as low levels can lead to serious consequences for the fetus such as spina bifida. Low folate levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease due to the high homocysteine.
Folic acid deficiency is the most common deficiency. Half of its amount in food is lost due to cooking, processing or short-term storage, so folic acid supplements are highly recommended.
