Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B9, is an essential food ingredient in our food supply.It is a water-soluble Vitamins, which is vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation. Folic Acid can be used as a health food additive to be added in infant milk powder.
Folic acid is the essential material for body when using the sugars and amino acid, also the necessary material for cells growth and reproduction. Folic acid will help accelerate the maturing of the cells in bone marrow. It is especially important for the pregnant women.
Folic acid or folate is a B vitamin. It is also referred to as vitamin M, vitamin B9, vitamin Bc (or folacin), pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, and pteroyl-L-glutamate. Food supplement manufacturers often use the term folate for something different than "pure" folic acid: in chemistry, folate refers to the deprotonated ion, and folic acid to the neutral molecule—which both co-exist in water.

【More functions of Folic Acid】
1. Folic acid helps prevent heart disease and stroke by reducing homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is an amino acid found in meats that can damage arterial walls and contribute to development of atherosclerosis, a condition that often leads to early heart attack.
2. Folic acid is also thought to be helpful to improving ulcerative colitis symptoms, and may help prevent cancer of the cervix and the colon. Women that get a lot of folic acid decrease their risk of getting colon cancer by up to 60 percent.
3. Adequate folic acid intake during pregnant helps protect against congenital malformations, including neural tube defects.
4. Folic acid can also help protect the lungs from lung cancer. Increasing folic acid has been shown to reduce the number of abnormal or precancerous bronchial cells in smokers.

【Applications】
1. Folic acid is a type of B vitamin that is normally found in foods such as dried beans, peas, lentils, oranges, wholewheat products, liver, asparagus, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach.
2. Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency.
3. Folic acid is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat pernicious anemia.
【What is Folic Acid?】
1. Folic acid is a member of the water-soluble group of B vitamins. It was first identified in the 1940s when it was extracted from spinach in the form of folate—which is the form found in foods. However, folic acid is the more stable form of this vitamin, so it is used vitamin supplements and fortified foods
2. Folic acid’s chief function in the body is DNA synthesis and therefore new cell formation, as well as amino acid metabolism including methionine—which is needed to reduce homocysteine levels. Once it enters the body, folic acid is converted into its active coenzyme forms (e.g., 5- methylenetetrahydrofolate (MTHF), dihydrofolate), at which point it performs its vital functions. Since the body can’t store it very long, it should be replenished daily.
3. This is particularly critical when you consider that nearly 10 percent of people have a MTHF-reductase enzyme defect, which prevents the proper conversion of folic acid into MTHF. When this conversion does not take place, you are at increased risk of heart and brain degeneration.
4.Several foods contain rich stores of folate, including dark leafy greens, asparagus, broccoli, citrus fruits, berries, papaya, grapes, bananas, cantaloupe, legumes, avocado, okra, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, nuts and seeds, beets, corn, celery, carrots and squash. However, cooking or long storage can destroy up to half the folic acid in foods. Therefore, folic acid supplements can play a key role in providing adequate quantities of this important nutrient.
