Folic acid, a water soluble, light and temperature sensitive vitamin of the B complex(vitamin B9), is involved in all growth and development processes of the body. Folicacid is essential for the formation of red blood cells, for optimal functioning of thebone marrow and for healthy nerve activity. Moreover, folic acid is essential for celldivision, therefore it is important in foetus development.Although most plant and animal based foods contain folic acid, a deficiency of folic acid is the most widespread vitamin deficiency in Europe and North America. According to information from the German Nutritional Society (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung) only one in four Germans absorb sufficient folic acid.
