Folic acid: It is useful if your blood level is low. It is important for many things such as pregnancy to avoid complications for the baby. It is also important to for red blood cells. Blood level may be useful to know if you need additional folic acid, such as 1 mg daily.

Folic Acid: This is a vitamin that plays several roles in metabolism, most famously shuttling around methyl (-ch3) groups to make it possible to make thymine from uracil to make dna. A good college biochemistry text will help you get a grasp of this. Folic acid has been marginal in the diet in industrial nations and now many supplement food with it.
