Folic acid
Important for controlling homocysteine
Folic acid is one of the B vitamins and is mainly found in whole grain products and green leafy vegetables. The water-soluble vitamin is very sensitive to heat, which means it can easily be destroyed during cooking. Intensive sun exposure (e.g. solarium) can also reduce the amount of folic acid in the body. Folic acid plays a role in the conversion of homocysteine into methionine. There is an increased need, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and this must be compensated for by an adequate intake, as folic acid is involved in cell division and the development of the fetus during pregnancy.
Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

800 mcg pure folic acid
Folic acid (also vitamin B9) is important for cell division, which is why the need is increased during pregnancy . We also need folate for homocysteine metabolism.
Control of homocysteine metabolism
Folic acid belongs to the B vitamin family and has numerous functions in the body. For example, it is involved in the conversion of homocysteine into methionine - an important metabolic process, because too much homocysteine can have damaging effects on the organism.
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 blood formation. During pregnancy , it is therefore involved in the healthy development of the fetus and the growth of maternal tissue. In this phase of life in particular, there is an increased need for folic acid , which must be met by an adequate intake.
Meeting individual needs
Our body needs more folic acid, especially when trying to have children or during pregnancy . However, getting enough of the water-soluble vitamin through food every day is not always easy. Although green leafy vegetables and whole grain foods contain large amounts of folic acid, the vitamin is extremely sensitive to heat and can be quickly destroyed when cooked. High-quality food supplements support the daily supply of folic acid and help to meet increased needs.
