What you should know about the vitamin folic acid?
Folic acid or vitamin B9 is a water-soluble and vital vitamin from the vitamin B complex. The human body cannot produce this vitamin itself, so it must be obtained from food. Folic acid is responsible for many processes in the human body. It is responsible for the construction of nucleic acids, this is the information storage of the cells. During the human life cycle, the body goes through many phases. In phases of growth, starting with pregnancy, during childhood and puberty, folic acid plays a special role, because in these phases it causes cell division and growth. It is also involved in the formation of blood and genetic material.
Why is folic acid important for an expectant mother?

Among other things, the uterus grows by about 20 times. This is, for example, one of the processes that ensures that the child can develop and be born healthy. But special is also the sufficient folic acid intake. Folic acid is essential during pregnancy. It ensures the formation and maturation of red blood cells. The red blood cells have a vital function.
