Folic acid is an antioxidant, making it an effective skin repair ingredient
The imbalance of the redox status mediated by folate deficiency or methionine load has been characterized by various indices of oxidation such as increases in end-products of lipid oxidation (conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances), changes in the fatty acid composition with decreased polyunsaturated fatty acids (mostly n-3 fatty acids), and a lower antioxidant defense, as demonstrated using the free radical-mediated erythrocyte hemolysis test described in Durand and Blache (1996) and in Prost (1992)
