Description
Folic acid or vitamin B9 is one of the most essential elements. The intestinal flora of our body can produce it on its own, but in very small doses, therefore, with a lack of vitamin B9 intake with food, it is recommended to supplement it with a dietary supplement. Folic acid is essential for the normal formation of blood cells, including the maturation of erythroblasts and the formation of normoblasts.
The regular intake of vitamin B9 during pregnancy is especially important, since the placenta is formed with the help of folacin. Numerous problems in bearing the fetus, premature birth, placental abruption, early miscarriage are associated with a deficiency of this vitamin. Its additional intake reduces the likelihood of the fetus developing anomalies of the nervous system, brain, heart, genitourinary system, arterial defects and cleft palate of the fetus, the risk of Down syndrome. In addition, folic acid is necessary for the production of “happiness” hormones and ensures a good mood. Indications for taking folic acid may be taking certain medications, smoking, drinking alcohol, age-related changes in the body.
