FOLIC ACID
With Vitamin B-12
DESCRIPTION
Folic Acid 800 mcg supplies 200% of the recommended
dietary intake for folic acid in an easy to swallow tablet.
FUNCTIONS
Folic acid is a water-soluble essential B vitamin found in
many foods, including leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits,
and beans. Research has established that supplementation
with folic acid before and during the first two months of
pregnancy can prevent neural tube defects in developing
fetuses in women. The U.S. Public Health Service has
recommended that women of childbearing age take a
supplement containing 400 mcg of folic acid every day to
reduce the risk of a pregnancy affected by neural tube
defects.
In addition to its prevention of serious birth defects, folic
acid plays a key role in the metabolism of homocysteine.
Homocysteine is a sulfur containing amino acid that is
created in the body from methionine, an essential amino
acid derived solely from dietary intake. High plasma
levels of homocysteine appear to injure the vasculature,
impairing the functional abilities of endothelial and
smooth muscle cells. Elevated homocysteine also appears
to be thrombogenic. Suboptimal intake of several B
vitamins, including folic acid, in addition to renal failure
and genetic defects in homocysteine metabolism, can all
contribute to abnormal homocysteine levels.
INDICATIONS
Folic Acid 800 mcg may be a useful dietary supplement
for individuals wishing to supplement their diet with this
essential vitamin.
