Country Life Folic Acid 800 mcg (100 tabs)

Folic acid is important for everyone in maintaining health. It has long been known that folic acid plays an important role in the production of normal red blood cells, and that individuals who are deficient in folic acid sometimes develop a form of anemia called megaloblastic anemia (characterized by a reduced number of red blood cells).

• May help in encountering Parkinson's disease.

Folic acid is one of the B Vitamins. Folic acid is essential for the metabolic processes in our body. It is also necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids and the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. During pregnancy, folic acid is a vital nutrient and is essential for efficient neural tube development, which forms the brain and spinal cord. Pregnant women with an insufficient intake of folic acid are more likely to give birth prematurely or to deliver babies with low birth weight or with neural tube defects. More recent studies suggest that folic acid also may help prevent heart disease and stroke. It appears that individuals who have a high level of a substance called homocysteine in their blood have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Taking folic acid decreases the level of homocysteine in blood, possibly decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Studies suggest that folic acid also may reduce the risk of several cancers, including colon and breast cancer. While these studies have not proven a protective effect, they suggest that many people, besides women of childbearing age, may benefit from taking folic acid.
