Folic acid (also known as Vitamin B9 [ 1 ] or Folacin ) and Folate (the naturally occuring form) are forms of the water-soluble Vitamin B 9 . Vitamin B9 (Folic acid and Folate inclusive) is essential to numerous bodily functions ranging from nucleotide synthesis to the remethylation of homocysteine . It is especially important during periods of rapid cell division and growth, such as in infancy and pregnancy. Both children and adults require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia. [ 2 ] Folate and Folic acid derive their names from the Latin word folium (leaf).
