vitamin B9

The vitamin folate, also known as vitamin B9, is found in everyday foods such as beans and some green vegetables, meaning most people receive a sufficient dose from eating a regular, healthy diet.

Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an important component in red blood cells and plays a critical role in early fetal development.

The NHS currently recommends that women trying to conceive a child should consume 400 micrograms of folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, a day.

Physicians already recommend that women consume specific amounts of folic acid, or vitamin B9, to prevent spinal cord defects, but the new work is not enough to offer a similar proposal for B3.

The story goes back almost two decades, to when the U.S. began fortifying grain flours with folic acid, which is converted by the body to active vitamin B9, in 1998.
