Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) is not biologically active, but its biological importance is due to tetrahydrofolate and other derivatives after its conversion to dihydrofolic acid in the liver.
Vitamin B9 is needed to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA. It is especially important for people with SMA. Children and adults both require folic acid to produce healthy red blood cells and prevent anemia.
