What does a folic acid do for your body?

Folic acid or vitamin B9 is the un-methylated and synthetic form of folate. Therefore, it has to undergo enzymatic reduction by dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) to become folate, which is biologically active. Folate naturally occurs in the dark green vegetables, legumes, avocadoes, legumes, and in the liver in the biologically active form.

Moreover, folate is important for DNA synthesis, the formation of red blood cells, and it helps to utilize proteins in the body. Therefore, folate deficiency can cause megaloblastic anemia. Also, low levels of folate during pregnancy result in neural tube defects in the baby. Besides, folate converts homocysteine into methionine. Therefore, low levels of folate during early pregnancy lead to infertility and recurrent miscarriages.
