Product Description
We are offering Vitamin B9 Folic Acid.
Folate, also known as vitamin B9 , folacin,[6] and folic acid, is one of the B vitamins.[3] It is used as a dietary supplement and in food fortification.[7] Folate is required for the body to make DNA and RNA and metabolise amino acids necessary for cell division.[1][8] As humans cannot make folate, it is required in the diet, making it an essential nutrient.[9] It occurs naturally in many foods.[6][1] The recommended adult daily intake of folate in the U.S. is 400 micrograms from foods or dietary supplements.[1]
Folate in the form of folic acid is used to treat anemia caused by folate deficiency.[3] Folic acid is also used as a supplement by women during pregnancy to reduce the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in the baby.[3][10] Low levels in early pregnancy are believed to be the cause of more than half of babies born with NTDs.[1] More than 80 countries use either mandatory or voluntary fortification of certain foods with folic acid as a measure to decrease the rate of NTDs.[11] Long-term supplementation with relatively large amounts of folic acid is associated with a small reduction in the risk of stroke[12] and an increased risk of prostate cancer.[13] There are concerns that large amounts of supplemental folic acid can hide vitamin B12 deficiency.[1]
Not consuming enough folate can lead to folate deficiency.[1] This may result in a type of anemia in which red blood cells become abnormally large.[1] Symptoms may include feeling tired, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, open sores on the tongue, and changes in the color of the skin or hair.[1] Folate deficiency in children may develop within a month of poor dietary intake.[14] In adults, normal total body folate is between 10 and 30 mg with blood levels of greater than 7 nmol/L (3 ng/mL).[1]
Folate was discovered between 1931 and 1943.[15] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[16] In 2019, it was the 89th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 8 million prescriptions.[17][18] The term "folic" is from the Latin word folium (which means leaf) because it was found in dark-green leafy vegetables.[
