Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin and member of the B Complex. Folic acid intake is important for pregnant women and helps promote heart health. Folic acid helps maintain healthy levels of homocysteine by helping convert homocysteine into methionine. In addition, it plays a significant role in the health of red blood cells, and helps support a healthy nervous system.*

Adequate folate levels may reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is homocysteine?

Homocysteine is an amino acid that interacts with B vitamins and converts to methionine (a protein-building amino acid and antioxidant) and cysteine (an amino acid that supports liver health). Over time, homocysteine can accumulate in the bloodstream, potentially impacting cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and more.

What does “bioavailable” mean?

When something is bioavailable, it means that it’s more readily absorbed and used by the body.
