Folic Acid: The Little-Known Vitamin You Need For Anemia Problems
Sometimes called “vitamin M”, this water-soluble vitamin is involved in growth and reproduction, the production of red blood cells, and in the healthy functioning of the nervous system.
Mild folic acid deficiency is relatively common, but it can usually be corrected by increasing the intake of food containing folic acid. The main effects of folic acid deficiency include fatigue and anemia.
The primary dietary sources of folic acid include green, leafy vegetables, broccoli, spinach, mushrooms, nuts, dried beans, peas, egg yolk, liver, and whole-wheat bread. The recommended daily allowance is 200 mcg.
