WHAT IS FOLIC ACID ? [and do I need it]

Показать описание

What is folic acid, why do we need it. Should I take folic acid during pregnancy. Should you take folic acid if you are not pregnant. Is folic acid the same as folate. Our bodies can't produce folate, we can only absorb it through our diet. This is why your doctor may advise you at certain times to take folic acid. Because folate plays such an important role in our health, many countries will artificially fortify wheat flour and some breakfast cereal with folic acid. Folic acid is a synthetic alternative to folate and although they differ chemically, it is regarded as a good treatment for folate deficiency.
