1. the combination of vitamin B12 and folic acid
The human organism depends on many vitamins, minerals and trace elements. These should be taken in daily through a healthy diet. However, there are vitamins for which the supply becomes increasingly difficult in old age. These include vitamin B12 and folic acid. Vitamin improves the effect of folic acid, therefore ensures a better activation of folic acid and promotes the reduction of homocysteine. The combination of vitamin B12 and folic acid is essential for many tasks.
2 The daily requirement of folic acid
The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 400 micrograms of folic acid for an adult. People who consume larger amounts of alcohol have a higher requirement for folic acid. For women who wish to have children, nursing mothers or pregnant women, the recommended intake of folic acid is 800 micrograms per day. Dosage and daily requirement may vary in certain life situations such as pregnancy and breastfeeding or during heavy physical exertion.
3 The consequences of a folic acid deficiency
The human organism needs folic acid every day. Without folic acid, metabolic products such as blood cells or antibodies cannot be produced.
Possible consequences of a folic acid deficiency:
- Immunodeficiency
- Diarrhoea
- anaemia
- Physical weakness
- fatigue
- concentration problems and forgetfulness
- depressive moods
- irritability
- irritation of the mucous membranes
- weight loss
4. folic acid in the form of food supplements
If you want to increase a folate level that is too low with a dietary supplement, you should definitely pay attention to the form of the active ingredient and its origin. Folate capsules are particularly suitable for increasing folate levels. They are very well tolerated and are utilized by the body to a high degree. The preparation should also not contain any chemical additives. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product was produced safely and is of high quality.
