Sources of this vitamin include cereals, baked goods, leafy vegetables (spinach, broccoli, lettuce), okra, asparagus, fruits (bananas, melons, lemons), legumes, yeast, mushrooms, organ meat (beef liver, kidney), orange juice, and tomato juice. Folic acid supplements are suggested for use in women of childbearing age in order to prevent neural tube defects. This defect has since decreased in many countries since folic acid has been inputted in flour and cereals.



Lets not forget that folate is important in the creation of red blood cells. This vitamin will help maintain a lot of healthy red blood cells when it's time to workout!
