Research shows that folic acid (also called folate or folacin) has the following health benefits:

• Reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease
  Folic acid helps lower the body's production of homocysteine, an amino acid-like compound found to contribute to plaque formation in blood vessels.
  
  In one scientific study, in addition to lowering homocysteine levels, folic acid is also shown to improve the ability of blood vessels to dilate and to reduce the risk of heart disease.
  
  
• Prevent neurological birth defects
  Folic acid is required for normal cell replication, as well as the formation of genetic materials.
