Folic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is important for the formation of red and white blood cells. Folic acid is present in foods such as dried beans, peas, lentils, oranges, whole-wheat products, liver, asparagus, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach. As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and megaloblastic anemia caused by folic acid deficiency. Folic acid may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
