Folic acid is the synthetic, stable form of Vitamin B9 — a water-soluble vitamin your body cannot produce on its own and needs to obtain from food or supplementation. Alongside Vitamin B12, folic acid plays a foundational role in the synthesis of DNA, the genetic material present in every cell of your body. Because DNA synthesis is required whenever cells divide, folic acid is especially important during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy and early childhood development.
