Product Details:
Jarrow Folic Acid (100 Caps)-Healthy Cardiovascular Function & Fetus Development (100 Capsules )
Folic Acid is a B vitamin and a crucial nutrient for the health of the heart and normal fetus development. Folic acid is a methyl donor needed to reduce homocysteine back to methionine and for accurate synthesis of DNA and normal cell division throughout life including during pregnancy.
Folic acid is essential for the synthesis of adenine and thymine, two of the four nucleic acids that make up our genes, DNA and chromosomes. It is also required for the proper metabolism of the essential amino acid methionine that is found primarily in animal proteins. A folic acid deficiency has been clearly linked to an elevated level of homocysteine, a sulfur-containing amino acid. High homocysteine levels, in turn, have been linked to cardiovascular disease and a host of other undesirable conditions.
Approximately half of all pregnancies are unplanned, so the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has taken steps to fortify certain foods so that all women of childbearing age get a daily dose of folic acid. The following foods can help you obtain your recommended amount of folic acid:
Leafy green vegetables, such as a large spinach salad
Citrus fruits, such as orange juice
Beans
Breads
Cereals
Rice
Pastas
A daily vitamin with folic acid may be suggested by your health care provider since the food listed above may not contain enough folic acid to meet the daily requirement. Scientific research demonstrates that adequate folic acid consumption may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with brain or spinal cord defects.
