Our Fabulous Folic Acid Another dietary supplement that is quickly gaining favor is folic acid (vitamin B 9). It appears to play a role in prostaglandin (PGI2) synthesis. There is also significant evidence that most of us are deficient in this vitamin. We do know that deficiencies in folic acid make IRIS problems worse. Low folic acid levels are known to cause heart disease and are associated with high levels of homocysteine, spina bifida, and Alzheimer’s disease. The B-vitamins are important in correcting our fat metabolism and at the top of that list is folic acid. Most of us are deficient in this vitamin. In addition to that, the FDA has limited the dose to only 800 mcg (mcg = microgram). 1000 mcg = 1 mg (mg = milligram). So, we have to take several 800 mcg tablets to replenish our deficiency of folic acid.
