Key Benefits
NOW Foods' Folic Acid is made with vitamin B12 in order to increase the efficacy and maximise the benefits of this essential vitamin.
Folic acid is also known as folate or vitamin B9, and is part of the B-Vitamin Complex, which all helps the body to convert food into energy. You need a healthy level of all B-vitamins to protect your liver, maintain healthy hair, skin, and eyes, and also to keep your nervous system in check.
Folic acid specifically is crucial for proper brain function and a key factor in mental and emotional health. The vitamin works, in combination with vitamin B12, to help produce red blood cells which mainly carries oxygen from the lungs and deliver it throughout our body. It also aids in the production of DNA and RNA which is the body's genetic material, making it an important factor for when cells are growing rapidly in moments such as infancy, adolescence or pregnancy.
It is fairly common to be deficient in folate since all B-vitamins are water-soluble meaning the body is unable to store them. It can be hard to maintain healthy levels without adequate supplementation.
NOW Foods is a family owned company since its start in 1968, and has relentlessly been making the natural supplement and products industry better since. Its mission has always been and is to provide value in their products which empower people to lead healthier lives all around.
