Folic Acid uses?

Folic acid is essential in preserving the genetic code within cells and ensuring normal growth and maintenance of all cells.

Folic acid is essential for the prevention of birth defects, but must be consumed in ample amounts in the weeks just before and just after conception.

Folic acid helps make nerve chemicals that regulate mood, sleep, and pain; deficiency results in mood and mental problems.

A deficiency of folic acid results in a type of anemia called macrocytic anemia, which elevates blood levels of protein called homocysteine that increases heart-disease risk and cause growth retardation in children, skin disorders, disgestive tract disorders, and reduced absorption of other nutrients.
