叶酸（Folate、folic acid）也称为维生素B₉、维生素M、维生素B_c、蝶酰谷氨酸，属于维生素B的一种^[4]。叶酸可用于治疗由叶酸缺乏症引起的贫血^[4]。叶酸也是孕妇的营养补充品^[4]^[6]。在新生儿的神经管缺损（英语：Neural tube defect）病例中，有超过一半被认为肇因怀孕初期叶酸摄取不足所致^[7]。有超过50个国家利用加入叶酸的营养强化食品来减少神经管缺损的比例^[8]^[9]。长期补充叶酸和中风及心血管疾病风险的小幅下降有关^[10]。叶酸可以口服，也可以用注射的方式补充^[4]。

正常剂量下的叶酸不会造成副作用^[4]，但还不确定长期的高剂量摄取是否有需要关注的问题^[4]。不过已知高剂量的叶酸摄取会让维生素B12缺乏症的问题较不易被检查到^[7]。人体在制造DNA、RNA，以及制造细胞分裂需要的氨基酸代谢时，都必须用到叶酸^[7]。因为人体无法自行制造叶酸，因此叶酸属于人体必需的维生素^[11]。

叶酸摄取不足会造成叶酸缺乏症^[7]，会导致巨母红细胞性贫血（英语：Megaloblastic anemia）^[7]，症状包括疲劳、心悸、呼吸困难、舌头上的疮，以及皮肤或发色的变化^[7]，儿童若膳食摄入不足，一个月后会出现叶酸缺乏症^[12]。成人体内正常的叶酸总量在10,000–30,000µg，而血液中的浓度则为7 nmol/L（3 ng/mL）^[7]。

叶酸是在1931年至1943年之间发现的^[13]，由米切尔（H．K．Mitchell，1941）及其同事^[14]首次从菠菜叶中提取纯化出来，命名为叶酸^[15]。叶酸列在世界卫生组织基本药物标准清单中，是基础公卫体系（英语：health system）中所需，最有效及安全的药物^[16]。2014年在发展中国家，每一剂的叶酸膳食补充品价格在0.001至0.005美金之间^[17]。叶酸的英文folic源自拉丁文的folium，意思就是叶子^[18]。在许多的食物中都含有叶酸，特别是深绿色的叶菜类以及肝^[7]。

对孕妇的重要性

由于叶酸对于神经管的形成有重要作用，因此孕妇在怀孕前摄入足够的叶酸对于胎儿的正常发育很重要。怀孕期间缺乏叶酸能够影响胎儿神经系统的发育。研究表明在怀孕前期和怀孕中补充足够的叶酸能够降低神经管畸形和唇裂胎儿的出生率^[19]。美国全国环境卫生科学研究所的研究人员在新一期《新英格兰医学杂志》上报告说，孕妇补充叶酸可防婴儿唇裂，但对于预防颚裂作用似乎不太明显^[20]。

自1998年1月1日起，美国已强制规定在某些谷物食品中强化叶酸，FDA规定每1KG谷物食品（面包、面粉、早餐谷物、大米等）强化1.4mg叶酸（美国卫生及公共服务部，1996年）。^[21]

70%接受调查的西班牙孕妇，没有补充叶酸。 ^[22]

叶酸的食物来源

从叶酸最初的提取和名称就能知道，叶酸大量存在于带叶的蔬菜中。菠菜、芦笋、芜菁、小白菜、莴苣、抱子甘蓝、花椰菜、黄豆、玉米、扁豆、豌豆、葵花籽的粗粮及其他带叶的蔬菜。水果包括哈密瓜、蜜瓜、香蕉、木莓、葡萄柚、草莓、以及橙汁、罐装菠萝汁、番茄汁等。动物食品如动物的肝脏、肾脏、禽肉及蛋类，如猪肝、鸡肉、牛肉、羊肉等也含有丰富的叶酸。

每日摄入量

国家卫生部及美国疾病控制中心均给出指导建议：孕妇建议每日摄入量0.4毫克，绝对不能随便选用大剂量的叶酸增补剂。^[23]

美国国家医学院(IOM)建议成年人每日叶酸摄取量安全上限为1毫克，即1000微克。^[24]

叶酸药物要保存在干燥避光阴凉的地方。因为叶酸见水、见光都会分解。 WHO推荐孕妇每日摄入量为：0.4mg/day^[11]
