Inadequate folate levels, a type of B-vitamin, can result in health issues. Although folate-rich foods exist, supplementation may be necessary to achieve recommended daily intake. Folate is crucial for maintaining cellular function and healthy cells, especially red blood cells. Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate and supplements are used to prevent or treat low folate levels, which can lead to anemia. Inadequate folate levels may result from a poor diet, alcoholism, liver disease, particular gastrointestinal conditions, or kidney dialysis. Women of reproductive age should get sufficient folic acid to prevent spinal cord birth defects in babies. Folic acid is also essential during early pregnancy as it assists in developing the neural tube, which forms the early brain and spine and helps prevent specific birth defects.
