What it is

Folic acid is a synthetic form of the B vitamin folate. Folate is naturally found in many foods. Folic acid is commonly used in fortified foods and dietary supplements.

Why it's used

Folic acid is added to foods to increase their folate content, helping people meet their daily folate needs. It is often found in grain products like bread, pasta, and cereals, as well as in some other processed foods.

Health notes

The FDA considers folic acid safe when added to foods and has established regulations for its use. Adequate folate intake is important for cell growth and DNA formation. The WHO and EFSA have also evaluated folic acid and its role in health. Some research suggests that high intake of folic acid from supplements may mask a vitamin B12 deficiency, but this is not typically a concern with folic acid added to foods at regulated levels.

Allergen info

Folic acid is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
