What is Folic Acid?

Folic acid, also known as folate or vitamin B9, is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in the development of new cells in the body. It is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it is not stored in the body and needs to be consumed regularly through diet or supplements.

Why is Folic Acid important during conception and pregnancy?

Folic acid is especially important for women who are trying to conceive or are pregnant. During the early stages of pregnancy, the body goes through rapid cell growth to support the development of the baby’s tissues and organs. Folic acid helps in this process by aiding in the production of new cells.

What are the benefits of taking Folic Acid supplements?

Supplementing with folic acid can have numerous benefits, especially for women who are planning to conceive or are pregnant. Some of the key benefits include:

• Supports healthy fetal development: Folic acid is crucial for the development of the baby’s brain and spinal cord. Adequate intake of folic acid can help prevent birth defects such as spina bifida.
• Increases maternal folate status: Low levels of folate in the mother’s body can increase the risk of neural tube defects in the baby. Supplementing with folic acid can help maintain adequate folate levels in the mother’s body.
• Supports overall health: Folic acid is also important for the production of red blood cells and DNA synthesis. It can also help prevent anemia and support a healthy immune system.
