Vitamin B9
Folic acid is a type of Vitamin B which helps the body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer.
As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anaemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency.
Benefits
- The synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA.
- Aiding rapid cell division and growth.
- Enhancing brain health, although the evidence is mixed and more research is needed.
- Age-related hearing loss.
It is particularly important for females who are pregnant to consume enough folic acid. This helps prevent the fetus from developing major congenital deformities of the brain or spine, including neural tube defects, such as spina bifida and anencephaly.
