| B vitamins are used in the body individually or in
combination with enzymes to help release energy from
carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Vitamin B coenzymes are
crucial to the metabolic pathways that generate the energy
needed by every cell in the body. Because they are
co-dependent in their metabolic activities, a deficiency of
one B vitamin can affect optimal functioning of organ
systems throughout the body. 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 provides the following health benefits:
- Helps protect the chromosomes against genetic
damage.*
- Lowers damaging homocysteine levels.*
- Participates in the utilization of sugar and amino
acids.*
- Promotes healthier skin.*
- Helps maintain a healthy GI tract.*
A deficiency of folate can result in impaired cell
division and protein synthesis. With diminished replacement
of healthy red blood cells and intestinal cells, anemia and
a decline in GI tract function ensue. The systemic need for
folate increases in certain disease 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.* |
