Folic Acid
Our Naturopaths Say
Folic acid is a B vitamin that is essential for the human body. It is necessary for the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material, and for the metabolism of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Folic acid is also important for the production of red blood cells, and plays a role in the functioning of the nervous system. Consuming foods rich in folic acid, such as leafy green vegetables, legumes, and fortified grains, can help ensure that the body has an adequate supply of this important nutrient. Folic acid is especially important for women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, as it can help prevent certain birth defects.Our team of accredited naturopaths can assist you in making sure you're meeting your daily recommended intake of folic acid.
