Description
Folic Acid is an important B-vitamin, which plays an important role in disease prevention and promotion of good health. Folic Acid acts as a co-enzyme in the conversion of glucose to energy and the formation of red blood cells. Adequate Folic Acid intake is essential for women of child-bearing age, especially at around the time of conception to prevent devastating birth defects such as Spina Bifida. Substantial research has also demonstrated that Folic Acid supplementation may prevent vascular diseases such as heart attacks and stroke. Folic Acid metabolizes homocysteine, thereby preventing high homocysteine levels, an important risk factor associated wih cardiovascular disease. Strong, consistent evidence also supports Folic Acid supplementation in cancer prevention and improved cognitive function. Overall, Folic Acid supplementation is essential for all individuals, even if a baby is not expected in the near future!
The B-Compound vitamins are probably the single most important set of factors needed for proper maintenance of the nervous system, proper functioning of the cell and its energy metabolism. Any kind of mental or physical stress as well as poor eating habits greatly increase the body's need for B Vitamins. Since B Vitamins are water soluble, meaning any excess is not stored but excreted or lost through perspiration - thus, the B Vitamins must be supplied as the body needs them, on a regular basis.
As one of the B Vitamins, Folic Acid acts as a co-enzyme in the formation of red blood cells and nucleic acid. It plays a role in the breakdown and utilization of protein. In addition, Folic Acid aids in the performance of the liver and mental and emotional health.
