Nature's Harmony Folic Acid is a yeast-free, vegetarian formula in a 1 mg dose. Folic Acid (vitamin B9 or folate) is part of the water-soluble vitamin B-complex that helps the body create healthy cells. It is essential for the synthesis of DNA and RNA, the genetic material of all cells.

Ingredients

Folic acid aids in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material, and is especially important during periods of high growth, such as infancy, adolescence and pregnancy. Folic acid also works closely together with vitamin B12 to regulate the formation of red blood cells and to help iron function properly in the body. It is involved in the production of neurotransmitters, including serotonin and dopamine, that regulate brain functions such as mood, sleep and appetite.

Folic acid is generally well tolerated. In large doses (5-10 mg/day), it may cause increased flatulence, nausea and loss of appetite. Toxicity from excessive folic acid intake does not normally occur, as folic acid is water soluble and regularly excreted by the body.
