FOLATE WITH VIT B12

Folic acid (folate) is a member of the B-complex family. It is found in abundance in leafy green vegetables, but is often deficient in the standard American diet. Folic acid participates in a coenzyme reaction that synthesizes DNA needed for cell growth and new cell formation and helps convert vitamin B12 to one of its coenzyme forms.

Folic acid supplements provide the following health benefits: Helps protect chromosomes against genetic damage Helps prevent pregnancy complications such as birth defects, including neural tube defects, and certain heart defects and limb malformations Maintains already normal homocysteine levels which is important for heart health Participates in the utilization of sugar and amino acids carbohydrates Promotes healthier skin Helps maintain a healthy GI tract Maintains healthy endothelial function Improves mild memory problems associated with aging A deficiency of folate can result in impaired cell division and protein synthesis. With diminished replacement of healthy red blood cells and intestinal cells, a decline in GI tract function can ensue. The systemic need for folate increases in certain states in which increased cell multiplication is needed. Chronic use of medications such as aspirin and antacids can interfere with the natural synthesis of folate, making folic acid supplements of particular benefit.
