How Folic Acid 5 mg works

Folic acid (vitamin B9) is needed by your body to:

• Make healthy red blood cells, helping prevent or treat folate-deficiency anaemia.
• Make and repair DNA and other cells, especially cells that are dividing rapidly.
• Support normal growth and development, which is particularly important during pregnancy.

Your body converts folic acid into active folate compounds that participate in these processes.
