What is Folic Acid and its Action?
Folic acid, also called vitamin B9, B11, or folacin, is an organic chemical compound from the B vitamin group. It must be supplied to the body as a dietary supplement because the body cannot produce enough of it on its own. Folic acid participates in the formation of red blood cells, is responsible for the synthesis of nucleic acids, participates in the transformation of proteins and sugars, and is essential for the proper development and functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. It reduces homocysteine levels, thereby protecting blood vessels from damage.
Symptoms and Consequences of Folic Acid Deficiency
Folic acid deficiency causes weakness, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, memory and concentration problems. Other symptoms may include: inflammation of the tongue, coughing, sleep problems, palpitations, digestive disorders, and growth and developmental delays in children and adolescents. Deficiency can also result in megaloblastic anemia, increased homocysteine levels in the blood, nervous system disorders, and neural tube defects in the fetus.
Folic Acid Supplementation
The need for folic acid depends on age, sex, and health. The average daily dose is about 0.4 mg. Supplementation is especially important for women planning pregnancy and during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, as deficiency can cause heart and neural tube defects. Taking folic acid during pregnancy reduces the risk of neural tube defects by 75%.
