Folic acid, is a water-soluble B vitamin that converts in the body to the coenzyme tetrahydro folic acid (THFA) by accepting and donating single carbon groups. This is referred to as “one-carbon metabolism”, a vital step in the process of DNA formation. THFA is involved in a number of additional key metabolic reactions. It supports the healthy metabolism of amino acids, particularly the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Furthermore, folic acid functions with vitamin B12 and ascorbic acid in the breakdown and utilization of proteins*. Pure Encapsulations folic acid is synthetically produced. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.
