Folic acid

DNA Production

Our body needs folic acid to produce DNA and other genetic material. The body also requires folate for cell division.

Pregnancy

It plays an important role in the development of foetal neural tube.

Cardiovascular System

One of the most important folate-dependent reactions is transformation of homocysteine to methionine in the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine, an important methyl donor.

Adults require 400 mcg of folic acid per day, pregnant women require 600 mcg, lactating women 500 mcg.
