Folic acid 800 mcg with vitamin B-12 supports healthy homocysteine metabolism. Folic acid is a very important member of the B vitamin family and is required for DNA synthesis and genetic repair, making an adequate supply essential for rapidly dividing cells, such as red blood cells. It is also required for the synthesis of methionine from homocysteine and may contribute to the healthy function of both the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

How much folic acid?

According to the FDA, "0.8 mg of folic acid in a dietary supplement is more effective in reducing the risk of neural tube defects than a lower amount in common foods.

Public health authorities recommend that women take 0.4 mg of folic acid daily from fortified foods or dietary supplements or both to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
