Folic acid is important for the conversion of the amino acid methionine to cysteine. If this vitamin is deficient, or if a defect exists in the enzymes responsible for this conversion, there will be increased levels of homocysteine, which is an amino acid by-product that builds up in the body, damaging the lining of the blood vessel and harming the cardiovascular system.
