FOLIC ACID (along with VITAMIN B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Iron) is vital to the formation of red and white blood cells and haemoglobin, as well as for rapidly dividing cells which include gastrointestinal epitheleal cells, the growing foetus, skin and hair
This can include medications such as pain relievers, antidepressants, and anticonvulsants
Vitamin B12 is naturally produced by certain bacteria
Symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency include fatigue, lacking energy, loss of appetite, headache, mouth ulcers, changes in vision, feelings of depression, and hindered mental capabilities
Understanding each pathway is essential for researchers designing targeted experimental protocols
