    GlossaryFolic Acid (Folate)

    essential for DNA synthesis and cell division

    Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B9 or folate, is a water-soluble vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and proper brain function. It is particularly important during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy and infancy, and is commonly found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, and fortified foods. Deficiency in folic acid can lead to anemia and, in pregnant women, an increased risk of neural tube defects in the developing fetus.
