According to incomplete statistics, one out of every five people in our country suffers from folic acid deficiency, but many people do not realize the importance of folic acid supplementation for the body, so what are the benefits of appropriate folic acid supplementation? What are the ways to supplement the body with folic acid? Let's find out together.
First of all, what is folic acid?
Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin composed of pteridine, p-aminobenzoic acid and L-glutamic acid, also known as pteroylglutamic acid, and is one of the B vitamins.
Natural folic acid is widely found in animal and plant foods, especially in animal liver, yeast and green leafy vegetables. Folic acid plays a vital role in cell division and growth and the synthesis of nucleic acid amino acids and proteins.
Lack of folic acid in the human body will lead to an increase in immature cells, abnormal red blood cells, anemia and leukopenia. Folic acid is an indispensable nutrient for fetal growth and development.
Lack of folic acid in pregnant women can lead to low birth weight, cleft lip and palate, and heart defects. In the first three months of pregnancy, folic acid deficiency in women can lead to congenital neural tube development defects and deformities.
