Additional Information

Folic Acid (Folate) is an essential B vitamin that plays an important role in DNA and RNA synthesis, production of red blood cells, cardiovascular health, healthy mood, mental functioning and maintenance of the nervous system. Adequate levels of folate help to maintain healthy levels of homocysteine, supporting cardiovascular health. The form of folate used in dietary supplements is absorbed better than folate found in foods.
