Here is a nice way to get your RDA in folacin (=folic acid) and potassium. The typical American diet lacks these 2 critical nutrients.
Folacin is essential for the manufacture of genetic material as well as protein metabolism and red blood cell formation.
Potassium helps maintain regular fluid balance. Needed for nerve and muscle function.
