Folic Acid, also known as folate, is part of the B-vitamin family. It’s an essential vitamin that has many health benefits. In addition, it’s easy to get and digest because it’s found in foods like dried beans, peas, lentils, whole wheat products, and leafy greens. Supplementing folic acid into your diet can increase your energy levels, produce more red blood cells, and may reduce the risks related to heart disease and stroke.
