Folic acid
Folic Acid
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin B group, essential for the production of red blood cells. It is found in abundance in leafy vegetables, which is why it is named "folic" acid.
For the general population, folic acid deficiency is rare in daily life. However, pregnant women require more than twice the amount of folic acid compared to the general population, which is why it is commonly found in nutritional supplements and products for pregnant women. If you search for "folic acid," most of the information will be related to pregnancy.
The recommended daily intake of folic acid is 240μg for adult men and women. During pregnancy, this amount doubles, and since it is difficult to obtain this solely from food, taking supplements is the common approach.
Effects of Folic Acid
- Prevention of anemia
- Helps in protein synthesis
- Maintains strong, healthy skin and mucous membranes
- Prevents arteriosclerosis by maintaining healthy blood flow
- Folic acid in energy drinks
Some energy drinks contain trace amounts of folic acid, but it is certainly not in the same quantities as folic acid supplements.

In 2001, while living in the United States, I encountered energy drinks through the dance scene and was deeply impressed. After returning to Japan, I found that energy drinks were considered novelty beverages, so I established a comprehensive website in 2013 to share the true appeal of energy drinks. As an energy drink enthusiast, I began drinking them seriously again, collecting over 7,000 varieties of energy drinks from various countries. I am also active as a critic and expert, receiving media interviews.
Since 2001, Energy Drink Maniac has been drinking energy drinks and providing the most detailed reviews of global energy drinks based on firsthand research.
