FooDB Name

Folic acid

Description

Folic acid, also known as folate or folsaeure, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. Folic acid is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). Folic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Folic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Folic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as fibromyalgia, hereditary folate malabsorption, bladder infections, and alzheimer's disease; folic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder folate deficiency.
