Symptoms of VITAMINS B-12 AND FOLIC ACID deficiency are megaloblastic anemia, irritability, sore tongue, headaches, palpitations, paranoid behavior and gastrointestinal tract disturbances.

Recently, the FDA has approved a health claim for FOLIC ACID (the second health claim ever allowed for a dietary supplement) concerning birth defects. Years of scientific study have shown FOLIC ACID supplementation is a preventative measure for neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. Other studies have shown evidence that FOLIC ACID supplementation is beneficial for the prevention of some cardiovascular diseases. Most importantly, all these studies validate the importance of FOLIC ACID as a dietary supplement.
