acid—also known as folate or folacin—is a B vitamin found in
green leafy vegetables and, in lesser amounts, in fruits,
sprouts, brewer’s yeast, liver and legumes. Often working in
conjunction with vitamin B12, folic acid functions primarily as
a methyl-group donor involved in many important body processes.*
Most importantly, folic acid is responsible for the creation of
DNA (the body’s genetic information) and building blocks of RNA
(needed for protein synthesis in all cells). Rapidly growing
tissues, such as occurs during pregnancy or regeneration of
tissues such as red blood cells and immune cells, need folic
acid to divide properly.* Folic acid also plays a role in the
formation of SAM (s-adenyl methionine), which regulates many
functions, including mood.* How does folic acid support health?
