Description
Folic acid is a vital micronutrient that has played a crucial role in human health for centuries. Originally known as "folacin," this B vitamin was first isolated from spinach in the early 20th century and has since been recognized as essential for the generation of red blood cells and DNA development. It wasn't until the late 1980s that the full extent of folic acid's importance became clear when it was shown that adequate intake of the vitamin before and during early pregnancy may combat birth-related issues in the brain and spine.
