Folic acid
The role of folic acid
Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient for the human body. It is responsible for participating in many important physiological metabolic functions in the body and is an essential nutrient for cell growth. However, the human body cannot produce it on its own, so it needs to be supplemented through food or nutritional supplements. Studies have shown that folic acid helps the initial development of the fetus's central nervous system and reduces the risk of spinal defects. Therefore, folic acid supplementation (400-800 micrograms per day) is particularly important for women preparing to become pregnant and pregnant women. In addition, folic acid is one of the elements for making red blood cells and is also known as the "hematopoietic vitamin", so people with thalassemia also need additional folic acid.
Common food sources of folic acid
Green vegetables and fresh fruits, such as broccoli, spinach, asparagus, carrots, kiwi fruit, oranges, etc. are rich in folic acid. Meat, beans, grains, including egg yolks, walnuts, oats, and milk, are also rich in natural folic acid. However, since folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, high-temperature cooking may cause the loss of folic acid. Therefore, it is recommended that men and women who are preparing for pregnancy, breastfeeding and pregnant women take folic acid supplements to supplement the required amount, but it should not exceed 1000 mg. Moreover, folic acid in the body needs to work together with vitamin B12, so sufficient vitamin B12 or B vitamins are needed.
