Product details & mandatory information
Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential, water-soluble vitamin from the vitamin B complex. The human body is unable to synthesise this vitamin itself, which is why it must be obtained from food. Folic acid plays a central role in numerous processes in the body, including the formation of nucleic acids, which serve as information storage for cells. Especially in phases of growth, such as during pregnancy, childhood and puberty, folic acid is crucial for cell division and growth. Folic acid is also involved in haematopoiesis and the formation of hereditary substances.
Importance of folic acid during pregnancy
During pregnancy, the body undergoes numerous changes, including the uterus growing around 20-fold. A sufficient intake of folic acid is essential during this time, as it supports the formation and maturation of red blood cells, which transport oxygen in the body. Folic acid is also essential for controlling cell division and the growth of the unborn child, which is crucial for healthy development.
Difference between folate and folic acid
Folic acid is the synthetic form of the B vitamin, which has to be converted into the bioactive form, folate, in the body. However, folic acid capsules already contain the bioactive form from lemon peel extract, which can be better utilised by the body.
