Folic acid (also vitamin B9) is important for cell division, which is why the requirement is increased during pregnancy. We also need folate for homocysteine metabolism.
Control of the homocysteine metabolism
Folic acid belongs to the B vitamin family and fulfils numerous functions in the body. For example, it is involved in the conversion of homocysteine into methionine - an important metabolic process, as too much homocysteine can have damaging effects on the body.
Desire to have children and pregnancy
Young women of childbearing age in particular need to ensure they have an adequate supply of folic acid. The B vitamin plays a key role in cell division and haematopoiesis. During pregnancy, it is therefore involved in the healthy development of the foetus and the growth of maternal tissue. During this phase of life in particular, there is therefore an increased need for folic acid, which should definitely be covered by an adequate intake.
Meeting the individual requirement
Our body needs more folic acid, especially if we want to have children and during pregnancy. However, the daily intake of the water-soluble vitamin through food is not always easy. Although larger amounts of folic acid are contained in green leafy vegetables and wholemeal foods, the vitamin is extremely sensitive to heat and can be quickly destroyed during cooking. High-quality food supplements support the daily supply of folic acid and help to cover an increased requirement.
