Vitaking folate 400 mcg capsule 60 pcs

Folate plays an important role in the metabolic processes of cells, the functioning of the nervous system, DNA synthesis, and cell division processes. In the case of women about to have children, its use can improve the quality of oocytes, and during pregnancy it can reduce the chance of medullary obstruction and premature birth.

Folate, which belongs to the family of B vitamins, is a naturally occurring vitamin in food. Folic acid cannot be used directly by the body, in order for it to become an active form that can be used by the body, it needs to be transformed in the body, but unfortunately not everyone's body can transform it. In order for folic acid to be converted into folate, several enzymes must cooperate.

Fola

The body cannot produce folate on its own, so it can be supplemented from food or dietary supplements. The basis for the adequate intake of folates is a balanced diet, the primary sources of which are plant leaves and leafy vegetables. If these are cooked a little, the vitamin breaks down. Proteins are the living components of our body and cells. Folate is essential in protein production, plays an important role in the formation of new cells, in cell systems with intensive cell division, such as red blood cell formation, and is responsible for the integrity of the mucous membranes of the mouth, intestines and urogenital system. One of the main differences between folate and folic acid is that synthetic folic acid is not an antioxidant. Folate is a molecule capable of oxidation and is therefore a good antioxidant. The daily requirement of adolescents and adults is 400 µg, while the requirement of pregnant and lactating women increases to 600 µg. Adequate folic acid/folate supply to the mother is particularly important during fetal development, because only in the presence of folate can the neural tube in the fetus' spine close.
