Folic acid(Cat No.:I004223), also known as Vitamin M or Vitamin B9, is an essential B vitamin that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is necessary for the production and maintenance of new cells, including red blood cells, and is involved in DNA synthesis and RNA synthesis. Folic acid is particularly important during periods of rapid cell division and growth, such as during pregnancy and infancy. Adequate intake of folic acid is essential for overall health and is commonly supplemented to prevent deficiencies and support proper cell function.
