THE BEST FOLIC ACID SOURCES

Why Folic Acid?

Folic acid is one of the B vitamins also known as Vitamin-B9. Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin which means it does not stay or store in the body for any significant period of time. We must continually replenish out folic acid stores via the diet.

Folic acid is especially necessary during periods of rapid growth and development. Folic acid is of particular importance to the growing fetus and of course growing children. We all need folic acid for the healthy production of red blood cells which helps prevent anemia.

Pregnant mothers need to be especially aware of their folic acid intake, as it has been discovered that folic acids deficiencies during pregnancy lends itself to neural tube defects. What this means is the spinal cord will not develop properly without adequate supplies of this most important nutrient.

What are the Best Sources of Folic Acid?

It is absolutely inarguable that the best folic acid sources come from natural whole foods. If wanting to prevent a folic acid deficiency, leafy green fresh vegetables are a must. The list includes spinach, kale, mustard greens, turnip greens and variety (not iceberg) lettuces. Sunflower seeds are a rich source of folic acid as well along with green peas. Though not very tasty to many, liver has naturally high amounts of folic acid.

What is the Difference Between Folate and Folic Acid?

While we have used the term folic acid for familiarity sake in this article, the difference between the terms folate and folic acid are one hundred fold. Folic acid is actually the SYNTHETIC form of folate, the natural substance found in fresh whole foods. What this means is that when you see the term folic acid on a vitamin bottle, it is a laboratory derived chemical. NOT the natural nutrition the body was designed to thrive upon.

Why is the Difference Between Folate and Folic Acid Significant?

Folate the natural nutrient found constructed by nature in the foods we consume. This is the natural organic compound that our body can use and put to work to help maintain our good health. On the flipside, folic acid is a chemical. This is a chemical found in vitamin capsules and tablets that is supposed to mimic the natural properties of folate.

Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. The substance known as folic acid was synthesized by a scientist at a large chemical company, namely, The American Cynid Company.
