Folic acid (B9) — vegansk
FOOD ALLOWANCE
If you are pregnant or about to become pregnant, a folic acid supplement would be a good idea. Folic acid, also called folic acid, is vitamin B9 and has many important functions in the body. Especially before, during and after pregnancy, it is important to consume folic acid.
Folic acid from Green Vitamins
Grønne Vitaminer's Folic Acid contains a whopping 400 mcg of folic acid and is 100% vegan. The tablet is small and easy to swallow, and 1 can is enough for 3 months of consumption.
Folic acid and pregnancy
The Danish Health Authority recommends that you take a supplement of 400 mcg min. 1 month before you become pregnant and continue for 3 months after you become pregnant. Folic acid helps to prevent neural tube defects in the early fetal stage.
Why should you take folic acid?
Folic acid is very fragile, and the vitamin is easily destroyed by heating and exposure to light. It can therefore be difficult to get enough through the diet. Folic acid is particularly important, as it i.a. contributes to:
- normal tissue growth in pregnant women
- normal blood formation
- maintenance of normal mental function
- maintenance of the immune system
- normal cell division process
- to reduce fatigue and exhaustion
Studies have also shown that approx. 50% of the adult population lacks folic acid. Smokers in particular are often deficient in folic acid, and they may need up to 3 times as much folic acid as non-smokers.
It is recommended to eat folic acid together with other B vitamins, as the B vitamins have a synergistic effect on each other.
