products, liver, asparagus, beets, broccoli, brussels sprouts, and
spinach.Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also
helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer. As a medication, folic
acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anemia (lack
of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency.Folic acid is sometimes used
in combination with other medications to treat pernicious anemia. However it
will not treat Vitamin B12 deficiency and will not prevent possible damage to
the spinal cord.
