Where is Folic Acid Found?
Folic Acid is naturally found in green leafy vegetables, dark yellow fruits, and grain products such as whole wheat bread. In Canada, white flour and pasta products that are labeled “enriched” are now being fortified with Folic Acid, yet many Canadian women are not meeting their daily Folic Acid requirements. All women of child bearing years should consume good sources of Folic Acid AND take a multivitamin containing a minimum of 0.4 mg (400mcg) of Folic Acid every day.
