Vitamin >>> Folic Acid

Folic acid is a factor in several metabolic processes. The most important of
these is the synthesis of DNA. Evidence suggests that folic acid can help
protect against certain types of cancer, as well as certain types of birth defects
when taken by women during pregnancy.

Folic acid deficiency is fairly common, especially in older people and people
who consume alcohol regularly. Deficiency can cause anemia, weakness,
fatique and cramps.

The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of folic acid is 400 micrograms
(0.4 milligrams) daily. Spinach, broccoli, oranges, rice and liver are good
sources of folic acid. Folic acid has not been shown to be toxic.
