Folic Acid Powder -
30 grams, (Life Extension)
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.*
SUGGESTED USAGE
One scoop supplying 800 mcg daily is suggested for healthy people.
People with absorption problems may need 800-1600 mcg daily.
This product is best utilized when taken with meals.
Note
Healthful diets with adequate folate may reduce a woman’s risk of having a child with a brain or spinal cord defect. Women of childbearing age should consume 800 mcg of folate daily.*
Caution
Since folic acid can mask the most obvious effect of a vitamin B12 deficiency, Life Extension also offers folic acid capsules that contain vitamin B12. Those taking folic acid powder are advised to add vitamin B12 powder to their daily folic acid supplement.
