  Folic acid(Vitamin B9)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.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.Folic acid is sometimes used in combination with other medications to treat pernicious anemia. However it will not treat Vitamin B12 deficiency and will not prevent possible damage to the 

spinal cord. 

Benefits Of  Folic acid(Vitamin B9): 

1.PregnancyAdequate folate intake during the preconception period (which is the time right before and just after a woman becomes pregnant) helps protect against a number of congenital malformations, including neural tube defects (which are the most notable birth defects that occur from folate deficiency).

2.Reduce chromosomal defects in sperm

3.Reduces homocysteine levels.

4.Reduce the risk of stroke.

5.Reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, breast cancer.

• Function and Usage: Folic acid acts as a coenzyme (with vitamin B-12 and vitamin C) in the breakdown (metabolism) of proteins and in the synthesis of new proteins. It is necessary for the production of red blood cells and the synthesis of DNA (which controls heredity), as well as tissue growth and cell function. It also increases the appetite and stimulates the formation of digestive acids.
