Vitaking Folate 400 mcg capsule 60 pcs
Folate is the naturally occurring form of folic acid. Folate is needed for any life process involving cell division. When someone takes folic acid, it converts into active folate through a multi-step process. However, not everyone's body is capable of converting folic acid into active folate. Choose Vitaking Folat!
Product Description
Folate plays an important role in cell metabolism, nervous system function, DNA synthesis, and cell division processes. Its application in women planning to conceive can improve egg quality, while during pregnancy it can reduce the risk of neural tube defects and premature birth.
Folate, belonging to the family of B vitamins, is a naturally occurring vitamin in foods. Folic acid is not directly usable by the body, it needs to be converted into an active form that the body can utilize, but unfortunately not everyone's body can convert it. Several enzymes are needed for folic acid to be converted into folate.
Folate
The body cannot produce folate on its own, so it must be obtained through food or supplements. A balanced diet is essential for sufficient folate intake, with primary sources being leafy vegetables. If these are cooked too much, the vitamin will break down. Proteins are essential components of our body and cells. Folate is indispensable for protein production, plays a crucial role in the formation of new cells, in systems with intense cell division, such as the formation of red blood cells, 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 an oxidation-capable molecule, making it a good antioxidant. Adolescents and adults require 400 µg daily, while the needs of pregnant and lactating women increase to 600 µg. Adequate folate/folic acid supply is particularly important during fetal development, as only in the presence of folate can the neural tube in the fetus's spine close.
