Why is it important to us?
Folic acid is necessary for the synthesis of adenine and thymine residues, two of the four monomers that make up our DNA – the inheritable genetic polymer that “defines” us as humans! Our body needs folic acid essentially to make new cells & perform basic life functions of DNA replication & transcription. Moreover, Adenine makes up a very significant molecule for biological systems – the ATP – the Energy Currency of the cell! This emphasizes the importance of folic acid for women who are either planning pregnancy or those who are in their early pregnancy. They should have proper amounts of folic acid in their diet for proper development of the infant
