Folic Acid
What is folic acid?
Folic acid, also called folacin, is a water-soluble vitamin of the B-complex. Folic acid was first discovered in spinach back in 1940s. The human body cannot store folic acid, so it needs to get a regular supply of the vitamin through diet. That is why this vitamin deficiency is considered to be the most common.
Preserving folic acid in foods when you cook them is not a trivial task. Folic acid undergoes inactivation under the influence of temperature, it cannot withstand long-term storage at low temperatures. Therefore, it is always recommended to introduce romaine lettuce, spinach, turnip greens, legumes, as well as fruits and vegetables into the diet.
You can always support your body by getting enough folic acid from Folic Acid supplement by Grassberg.

FOLIC ACID IN YOUR BODY
The fact that folic acid cannot be synthesized by the human body leads to an overwhelming number of people with problems caused by the deficiency of this valuable vitamin B9.
It is associated with a “poor” diet, or rather with the lack of foods that contain folic acid. Most body processes require vitamin B9 (folic acid). It helps maintain DNA integrity and stability, stimulates cell growth, boosts the immune system, helps the heart function normally.
Folic acid deficiency is a frequent companion of anemia in the body, as this vitamin plays a crucial role in haematogenesis.
FOLIC ACID DEFICIENCY
Folic acid is primarily absorbed in the small intestine. That is why dysbacteriosis and various intestinal diseases can decrease the absorption of vitamin B9. Over time, it may cause:
- Cognitive impairment
- Infertility
- Megaloblastic anemia
- Fetal pathology
And the symptoms that lead to these pathologies are fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite.
