Folic Acid:

Folic acid is a B vitamin that is an essential requirement of thebody. It is needed for making the genetic material of cells (DNA), and thus forgrowth and development. Folic acid is particularly important for themaintenance of a healthy nervous system and in the formation of red bloodcells, which carry oxygen around the body. Folic acid is most important forrapidly growing tissues, such as those of a fetus, and rapidly regeneratingcells, like red blood cells and immune cells. Folic acid deficiency results inan anemia that responds quickly to folic acid supplements. The need for folicacid increases considerably during pregnancy. Deficiencies of folic acid duringpregnancy are associated with low birth weight and an increased incidence ofneural tube defects in infants.
