Notes:
a member of the vitamin b family that stimulates the hematopoietic system. it is present in the liver and kidney and is found in mushrooms, spinach, yeast, green leaves, and grasses (poaceae). folic acid is used in the treatment and prevention of folate deficiencies and megaloblastic anemia. Dietary supplement Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9, vitamin Bc or folacin) and folate (the naturally occurring form), as well as pteroyl-L-glutamic acid, pteroyl-L-glutamate, and pteroylmonoglutamic acid are forms of the water-soluble vitamin B9.
