NSI Folic Acid -- 1 mg (1,000 mcg) - 200 Capsules

Folic acid is a B vitamin needed for cell replication and growth.

Folic acid helps form building blocks of DNA (the body's genetic information), and building blocks of RNA (needed for protein synthesis in all cells). Therefore, rapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regenerating cells, like red blood cells and immune cells, have a high need for folic acid.

Folic acid deficiency results in a form of anemia that responds quickly to folic acid supplementation. Folic acid also promotes healthy homocysteine levels, essential for heart health. Unless otherwise advised by your doctor, it is generally advised to take vitamin B12 with folic acid, because folic acid has the potential of hiding a vitamin B12 deficiency.

As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule daily or as directed by a physician.

Pregnant or lactating women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, and people with known medical conditions and/or taking drugs, should consult with a licensed physician and/or pharmacist prior to taking dietary supplements.
