What is Folic Acid?
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamins B Tosh (vitamin B9), which the human body can not synthesize. Folic acid sourced either from food (natural forms of folate bioavailability but with little), either in the form of synthetic folic acid having the greatest bioavailability. Only 50% on average of folic acid food is nutritionally available, while the absorption varies widely between different foodstuffs. Also more than 50% of the folate content of food is lost during the process of maintenance, preparation and cooking. Folic acid occurs widely in food with the best sources are liver, fresh beans, peas, fresh green leafy vegetables - especially spinach, lettuce, radishes, cabbage, and broccoli and asparagus. Good sources of folic acid are also potatoes and wholegrain bread and oranges and bananas have adequate amounts of folate compared with
remaining fruit.
What is the Importance of Folic Acid?
Folic acid is essential in the formulation, correction and function of DNA and RNA, which are the basic units of life and is essential for cell division. Therefore folic acid required for the production and the Council nance of new cells and is particularly important during periods of rapid growth, such as pregnancy, where the needs are increased.
Since the development of neural tube defects of the fetus is performed during the first weeks of pregnancy, it is necessary to provide the high levels of folic acid before fertilization and during the first weeks of pregnancy. Strong scientific evidence shows that women who take folic acid supplements during the period of
capture, reduce up to 72% risk of having babies with birth defects such as neural tube malformations (IMS).
Especially for women of reproductive age there is the recommendation of the Public Health Services of most developed countries, according to which all women are candidates for pregnancy should take daily 400 mg (0,4 mg) of synthetic folic acid to prevent deficits neural tube of the embryo in a future pregnancy.
Learn about vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin), like all B vitamins are water soluble vitamin is not produced in the human body and is the sole source of nutrition and specific products of animal origin, ie meat, fish, egg and dairy . Vitamin B12 is complementary with folic acid metabolism contributing. This ensures the smooth development of the neural tube of the embryo during the early stages of pregnancy, and the increased needs during pregnancy. Lack of B12 blocked the metabolism of folic acid, which leads to low production of amino acids and nucleotides in a demanding period for cell division such as pregnancy.
