Folic acid – a vitamin naturally found in leafy vegetables, oranges, wheat germ, and avocados – is critical to cell reproduction because it stabilizes DNA and, with the help of vitamin B12, aids in the production of hemoglobin.

For women who may become pregnant, researchers recommend a daily intake of 400 micrograms of folic acid per day from fortified foods or dietary supplements.

Diminished folate levels in the body are related to a significantly increased risk of developing several different types of cancer. Read more >>
