* A. It is responsible for protecting the skin, aids in vision and process involved in developing enzymes (substances that provide chemical changes) in liver and sexual hormones.
* B1 (Thiamine). It is important for the proper functioning of the nervous system and brain as well as to reduce hangover effects or hangover.
* B2 (Riboflavin). Essential for obtaining energy, growth and regeneration of tissues, relieves muscle cramps and decreased physical and mental fatigue.
* B3(Niacin). Protects blood circulation disorders and can correctly perform intellectual functions.
* B4 (Adenine). It stimulates white blood cell formation.
* B5 (pantothenic acid). Supports the metabolism of a substance responsible for memory and concentration (acetylcholine), decreases stress and helps in relaxation.
* B6 (Pyridoxine). Essential for the proper functioning of the brain, regulate the nervous system and promote the metabolism of proteins.
* B7 (Hill). It prevents fat from accumulating in organs.
* B8 (biotin). Needed for the formation of nerve cells and relieve stress and liver disease (liver).
* B9 (folic acid). Essential in the production of red blood cells, prevents birth defects, regenerates cells and allows genitalia and nervous system are kept in good condition.
* B12 (Cobalamin). Its main function is to regenerate the bone marrow and red blood cells is essential in the formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), enhances memory and controls irritability.
* B13 (orotic acid). It is known that participates in metabolism (chemical process that enables the use of nutrients) of folic acid and vitamin B12, in addition to liver problems and prevent premature aging.
* B15 (pangamic acid). It has antioxidant effect (reduces destructive chemical reactions known as oxidation), facilitates the absorption of oxygen in all tissues, stimulates the immune system responses (that which prevents us from attack by viruses and bacteria), protects the body from cirrhosis, lowers blood cholesterol levels, controls the wish to drink alcohol and prolongs the life span of cells.

* Hill. At brain produces a substance that strengthens the memory and participates in the transmission of nerve impulses.
* PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid). Contributes to the formation of folic acid, proteins, and has been found to help maintain good skin and reduce pain caused by burns.
* C (ascorbic acid). Allow adequate wound healing, enhances the absorption of iron and protects cells from external aggressions.
* D (calciferol). It forms in the skin by exposure to sun down the calcium in bones and prevents dental caries.
* E (tocopherol) .. Prevents the destruction of cells and allow tissue regeneration.
* K.. Also called anti-bleeding because it is fundamental in the process of blood clotting.
* Fr. It reinforces the action of vitamin C, anti-hemorrhagic properties and allows the proper functioning of liver and kidneys.
* T. It has little knowledge of all functions of this vitamin, but known to be involved in blood clotting, a characteristic that makes it useful for treating anemia.

Folic acid is a vitamin that in some circumstances of our life is very necessary. It is one of the B vitamins, especially important in the growth time, adolescence and during pregnancy.

This vitamin helps prevent certain birth defects related to the brain and spinal cord (called neural tube defects). Hence it is advised that the woman consumed before conception and during early stage of pregnancy to prevent these defects (for women age who may become pregnant, the recommendation is 400 mcg. Folic acid daily).

The difference between folic acid and folate is that the former is vitamin B complex man-made and is used as a vitamin supplement and added to certain foods (called enriched or fortified foods), while folate is the natural way of vitamin B complex and is found naturally in some foods.
