FOLIC ACID
Works well with other B complex vitamins as they all work together...
Folic Acid prevents birth defects
Folic acid is a water-soluble member of the B complex. It is also known as folate and folacin. This vitamin is needed for energy production, cell replication and the formation of red and white blood cells. It plays an important role in the conversion of homocysteine into harmless substances. Homocysteine damages the inner lining of arteries and high levels of homocysteine are correlated to an increased risk of atherosclerosis.
Folic acid is especially needed in areas where there is high cell turnover. Therefore it is an essential component of normal fetal development, especially in the first trimester when most of the neural network is laid down. When taken before and during pregnancy folic acid helps to prevent miscarriage and neural tube defects, birth defects such as spina bifida.
Folic acid is also used to help prevent memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, age related hearing loss, macular degeneration, osteoporosis, restless leg syndrome, nerve pain, and muscle pain.
It is commonly recommended by natural health care practitioners for a variety of different therapeutic applications including: cervical dysplasia, depression, anxiety, anemia and atherosclerosis.
All of the B vitamins work together and are best used by the body in a B complex, which is why many B complex supplements include a small dose of folic acid in them. If additional supplementation of folic acid is needed it should be taken in addition to a good B complex. Most B vitamins are water-soluble and any extra from large doses is flushed out of the body easily, therefore it's best to take lower dosages of the B complex several times a day than one larger dose. Spray or sublingual forms of B vitamins are easily absorbed, as are capsules - if your digestion is healthy, then the tablet form is usually suitable for most people.
Foods that are naturally high in folate include leafy vegetables including: spinach, broccoli, and lettuce, okra, asparagus, fruits such as bananas, melons, and lemons, beans, yeast, mushrooms, meat including beef liver and kidney, orange juice, and tomato juice.
Folic acid is depleted by oral contraceptives and many other types of medication. Alcohol blocks the absorption of folic acid. High doses of folic acid can also change the way your body uses certain medications. Check with your health practitioner before taking large doses of folic acid. Cooking or microwaving destroys folic acid. Pregnant women should begin supplementation before they become pregnant because folic acid is most needed during the first six weeks of fetal life. This is often when a woman does not know she is pregnant.
