Folic Acid 5 mg 120 Capsules

Your body makes an amino acid called homocysteine from certain foods you eat. Amino acids are usually good for you, since your body creates proteins from them. Unfortunately, they can sometimes be harmful. If excessively high levels of homocysteine are present, you may face health risks. This amino acid can make your arteries harder and narrower, making it difficult for blood to get through and reach other parts of your body. You might also be more prone to blood clots, which make it even tougher for blood to flow through your blood vessels.

You might have higher homocysteine levels if you eat a diet that contains a lot of protein from sources like meat, fish, and eggs. Having low levels of a B vitamin called folic acid can also bump your homocysteine levels up. If you do have too much of this amino acid, taking a folic acid supplement can help.

Ortho Molecular Products’ Folic Acid 5 mg gives your body what it needs to decrease homocysteine levels. Folic acid helps your body produce new cells; your body needs it in order to help turn homocysteine into methionine, another type of amino acid. Giving your body more of this B vitamin helps you get rid of excess homocysteine.

Each Folic Acid capsule contains 5 mg of folic acid, along with 200 mcg of vitamin B12 to provide additional support for balancing the level of homocysteine present in your body.

Each bottle of Folic Acid 5 mg by Ortho Molecular Products contains 120 capsules, which is enough to last for up to four months. Take one capsule daily, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
