Folic acid - What you should know about the vitamin
Folic acid or vitamin B9 is a water-soluble and vital vitamin from the vitamin B complex. The human body cannot produce this vitamin itself, so it must be obtained from food. Folic acid is responsible for many processes in the human body. It ensures the formation of nucleic acids, which is the information store of the cells. During the human life cycle, the body goes through many phases. Folic acid plays a special role in phases of growth, starting in pregnancy, during childhood and puberty, because in these phases it causes cell division and growth. It is also involved in the formation of blood and hereditary substances.
Why folic acid is important for an expectant mother
Pregnancy is an exciting and extraordinary time. During the nine months, a variety of changes take place, including almost every part of the organism. Among other things, the uterus grows by around 20 times. This, for example, is one of the processes that ensures that the child develops and is born healthy. However, sufficient intake of folic acid is also particularly important. Folic acid is essential during pregnancy. It ensures the formation and maturation of red blood cells. Red blood cells have a vital function. They transport oxygen throughout the body. Folic acid is also involved in controlling cell division and growth. These are properties that are vital for the unborn child.
What is the difference between folate and folic acid?
Folic acid is the synthetically produced B vitamin that the body first converts into bioactive folate. Our folic acid capsules already contain the bioactive form from lemon peel extract. The human body can better utilise the already bioactive form "folate".
