Vitamin B 9 is a great for antiaging as it helps to prevent graying hair.  And, it helps to metabolize proteins.

A diet lacking in folic acid can lead to anemia, and hair loss, fatigue, poor circulation, depression and serious skin disorders.

Foods that contain phenolic acid include green leafy vegetables like spinach and lettuce, yeast, mushrooms, liver, peanuts and other nuts.

The minimum daily requirement of folic acid is 0.4 mg.
