Folic Acid

Folic acid is a form of the water-soluble B-9, necessary to take for a healthy cardiovascular system and nervous system. Increasing your intake of folic acid contributes to a healthier heart by lowering your homocysteine levels. High amounts of homocysteine in the blood have been associated with heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Furthermore, folic acid is also important to take to reduce the risk of birth defects. According to FDA, “0.8mg folic acid in a dietary supplement is more effective in reducing the risk of neural tube defects than a lower amount in foods in common form”.
