Folic Acid, also known as Vitamin B9, is an essential water-soluble vitamin belonging to the B-complex family. It plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and nervous system development.
Folic acid supplementation is especially important in pregnancy, where it helps prevent neural tube defects (NTDs) in infants. Beyond maternal health, folic acid contributes to cardiovascular support by regulating homocysteine levels, and is often used in anemia treatment, nutritional fortification, and multivitamin formulations.
