Folic acid, also known as folate from dietary sources, helps support nervous system function, and plays a critical role in the proper development of the baby's nervous system during pregnancy. Adequate folic acid in healthful diets may also reduce a woman's risk of having a child with a neural tube defect.

Adults should take one of these folic acid dietary supplement tablets daily with water and a meal. Nature Made supplements are quality you can trust, having been tested and verified by USP for ingredients, potency, and manufacturing process. USP sets the official standards for dietary supplements, and more information can be found on their verified website.

Folic acid, also known as folate and folacin, is essential for cell division, DNA synthesis, and the production of brain chemicals in the body. Without adequate levels, cells do not divide properly. Folic acid is vital to the development of a fetus' nervous system - a deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to birth defects like spina bifida. Therefore, women of childbearing age are recommended to consume 400 mcg of folic acid per day.

Additionally, folic acid may play a significant role in heart health by helping maintain healthy homocysteine levels in the blood. Homocysteine is a substance that can form when vitamin B12 and folic acid levels are low, and research suggests it may be a potential risk factor for heart health issues.
