Folic Acid deficiency is the most common vitamin deficiency in the world. Half of the folic acid in foods is depleted through cooking, processing and long-term storage, thus supplementation of this vital nutrient is highly recommended.
The Dietary Reference Intake is 400mcg although persons who drink alcohol, smoke, take oral contraceptives, or are pregnant should increase their intake.
Folic Acid is a member of the water-soluble B Vitamin family (aka folate). However Folic acid should be replenished daily due to the fact that the body cannot store it for long periods of time.
Women of childbearing age need folic acid to avoid a higher risk of neural tube birth defects such as spina bifida. Health Practitioners recommend that women take folic acid in pregnancy.
Folic Acid deficiency levels are also linked to an increased risk of heart disease through an increase in homocysteine.
