What it is

Folic acid is a synthetic form of the B vitamin folate. It is manufactured chemically. Folate is naturally found in many foods and is essential for cell growth and DNA formation.

The FDA requires certain grain products to be fortified with folic acid. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated folic acid and established guidelines for its use.
