Scientific Evidence

Folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and repair. Research has shown that adequate folic acid intake is essential for preventing neural tube defects in newborns and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have also linked folic acid supplementation with a decreased incidence of certain types of cancer.

Additional Information

It is important to note that folic acid is water-soluble and excess amounts are excreted by the body. However, high doses of folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms, so it is recommended to monitor B12 levels in individuals taking folic acid supplements long-term.

Consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are pregnant or nursing.
