Folic Acid: What is it?
Folic acid, also known as Folate, is a B vitamin needed for cell replication, growth, and the maintenance of cells. Folic acid helps form building blocks of DNA (the body's genetic information) and building blocks of RNA (needed for protein synthesis in all cells). It also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune cells, have a high need for folic acid.

What are some common signs and symptoms of folate deficiency?
Folate deficient women who become pregnant are at greater risk of giving birth to low birth weight, premature, and/or infancts with neural tube defects. Even the FDA realizes this, which is why supplement companies are allowed to claim that Folic acid can prevent Spina Bifida, and that women of child-bearing age should have more folic acid in their diet. Folic acid deficiency can also slow the overall growth rate in infants and children. In adults, a particular type of anemia can result from long-term folic acid deficiency. Other signs of folate deficiency are often subtle. Digestive disorders such as diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss can occur, as can weakness, sore tongue, headaches, heart palpitations, irritability, forgetfulness, and behavioral disorders.

Folic acid produces many health benefits.
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 utilizatoin of protein. In addition, Folic acid aids in the performance of the liver and mental and emotional health. Both adults and children need Folic acid to make normal red blood cells and prevent anemia. Folic acid is also essential for the metabolism of homocysteine, and helps maintain regular levels of this sulfur-containing amino acid. Lowering the serum concentration of homocysteine has been proven to reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events among people with homocystinuria. In addition, The Journal of the American Medical Association says that folic acid can also prevent atherosclerosis caused by hyperhomocysteinemia.
