Folic acid, also called folacin, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B-complex. The human body cannot store folic acid, so it needs to get a regular supply of the vitamin through diet. That is why this vitamin deficiency is considered to be the most common.
Folic acid is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division, which is particularly important for rapidly dividing tissues like bone marrow and mucous membranes. It also contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, helping the body fight infections and diseases.
Folic acid prevents macrocytic anemia associated with vitamin B12 deficiency and DNA synthesis disruptions. Folic acid supports fetal neural tube development, helping prevent birth defects like spina bifida during early pregnancy.
