Folic acid is an important water-soluble vitamin of the B complex which is not stored for long periods in the body, making its dietary intake necessary.
Dietary sources of folic acid include green vegetables and whole grain cereals.
Modern methods of food storage and cooking lead to a reduction in folic acid levels in food, which is reflected in the fact that 47% of women do not consume the minimum daily intake of 200μg/day. For this reason, folic acid supplements are often recommended.
Folic acid is characterized by important biological actions as it* plays a role in the process of cell division and contributes to*:
• the development of the maternal tissue during pregnancy
• the normal synthesis of amino acids
• the normal blood formation
• the normal metabolism of homocysteine
• the normal psychological function
• the normal function of the immune system
• the reduction of fatigue and tiredness
The chemical form of folic acid we have chosen is L-methylfolate calcium. L-methylfolate calcium is the metabolically active (methylated) form of folic acid. In this way, adequate metabolic coverage of all individuals is ensured, including those who are unable to methylate folic acid (polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene).
