Folic acid is essential for the body to use sugars and amino acids and is essential for the growth and reproduction of cells in the body.Folate in the body Folate acts in the form of tetrahydrofolate, which is involved in the synthesis and conversion of purine nucleic acids and pyrimidine nucleotides in the body.
Folic acid plays an important role in the production of nucleic acids (RNA, DNA).Folic acid helps with protein metabolism and, together with vitamin B12, promotes the formation and maturation of red blood cells. It is essential for the production of red blood cells.Folic acid also acts as a promoter of Lactobacillus casei and other microorganisms.Folic acid plays an important role in cell division and growth, synthesis of nucleic acid, amino acid and protein.Lack of folic acid can lead to abnormal red blood cells, an increase in immature cells, anemia, and leukopenia.Folic acid is an indispensable nutrient for fetal growth and development.Lack of folic acid in pregnant women has been linked to low birth weight, cleft lip and palate, and heart defects.
Deficiency of folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy can lead to defects in fetal neural tube development, leading to deformities.Therefore, women who are trying to become pregnant should start taking 100 to 300 micrograms of folic acid a day before they become pregnant.
