technicalmedicalchemistry
Relating to folic acid, the B vitamin found in leafy vegetables and needed for healthy cell growth.
Folic exists almost entirely to modify one noun, acid, and folic acid is the vitamin doctors recommend to women trying to conceive because it lowers the risk of certain birth defects in early pregnancy. The word derives from Latin folium, leaf, since the vitamin was first isolated from spinach leaves in the 1940s. Bread, cereal and other staple foods are often fortified with folic acid precisely because natural sources alone do not supply enough for everyone.
