Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is an essential component of the energy-producing B vitamin complex. With the other B vitamins, vitamin B9 helps your body transmit glucose to your organs and tissues, which provides energy and spurs cellular repair and development.
This profoundly powerful vitamin has several benefits that are all its own. For instance, every pregnant woman should consume plenty of folic acid, and this vitamin controls when your body turns genes on and off. What’s more, vitamin B9 may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by eliminating homocysteine. All things considered, it’s clear why we just had to include folic acid in Feel.
Folic acid, also known as Vitamin B9, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by contributing to homocysteine metabolism.
Unbelievable Benefits of Folic Acid
In addition to its reproductive benefits, folic acid can also help your body thrive in a variety of impressive ways. Here are some of the key findings of vitamin B9 research:
Reproductive Benefits
Even if you aren’t pregnant, you should take folic acid supplements if there’s any chance that you might conceive a baby. When you don’t consume enough folic acid before and during pregnancy, your baby has
higher chances of developing neural tube defectssuch as Spina Bifida. On the other hand, the babies of women who take adequate amounts of folic acid per day have
significantly lower rates of neural tube defects.
Cardiovascular Benefits
Along with other vitamins in the B complex,
folic acid reduces the levels of homocysteine in your body, which can contribute to various cardiovascular diseases. While other factors also contribute to the development of heart disease, reducing your homocysteine levels is an effective way to support your body against atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular conditions.
Neurological Benefits
Preliminary research suggests that vitamin B9 may help patients
recover from depression, and it’s possible that this nutrient could support recovery from other psychiatric conditions.
Other Benefits
Research shows that folic acid might help your body
repair and synthesize RNA and DNA, which keeps your tissues healthy throughout your body. This effect helps your cells repair and grow, and folic acid also appears to play a role in
preventing hearing loss in elderly people. Additionally, common pharmaceutical treatments for rheumatoid arthritis cause folic acid deficiency, so supplementing with vitamin B9 when you’re taking these medications can help you stay healthy.
