Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9is a water-soluble vitamin that has a direct effect on our mental and emotional well-being emotional well-being. It also supports the formation of DNA and RNA, i.e. our genetic material.
➤ Did you know that there is also a natural form of folic acid - folate?
Vitamin B9 is mainly known as folic acida synthetically which must first be converted with the help of an enzyme before it can be processed in the body. However, this enzyme, known as dihydrofolate reductase, is only present in small amounts in the body, meaning that folic acid cannot develop its full effect.
But there is another form of vitamin B9, namely the naturally occurring, bioactive form folate. Where folic acid is first converted in the body into the natural 5-MHTF form in the body, folate can be used directly, as it is already the 5-MHTF form. And thanks to the high bioavailability of folate, you can benefit immediately from the optimum effect of the vitamin.
We at Herbano therefore only use the high-quality, natural and bioactive folate for our capsules. To make it easier for you, we still refer to them as folic acid capsules - because folic acid and folate are also used synonymously.
The water-soluble vitamin plays an important role in health and is therefore essential in every phase of life. indispensable in every phase of life:
As with any other vitamin or nutrient deficiency, a folic acid deficiency can also lead to serious health problems such as such as:
Folic acid is found in many vegetables and pulses, such as green leafy vegetables, sprouted beans, avocados and citrus fruits. A deficiency of this important vitamin can be caused by different lifestyles or changes in the body can be caused by different lifestyles or changes in the body.
These include, for example:
➤Did you know that many countries have strict regulations in place to limit or prevent birth defects caused by folic acid deficiency?
➤Only approx. 50 % of folate is extracted from food. 50 % absorbed by the body. However, a sufficient supply of the vitamin is essential for a healthy pregnancy.
Folic acid is particularly important during pregnancy, as it is involved in the copying process of the DNA and the formation of new cells and thus guarantees the healthiest possible growth of the fetus. Expectant mothers are therefore always recommended to take folic acid supplements in order to provide the baby with the best possible supply of this essential vitamin.
A folic acid deficiency in pregnant women can prove to be very dangerous for the unborn child. unborn child. It can lead to a variety of serious damage, such as
Folic acid capsules can effectively prolong the gestational age of the fetus and thus reduce the risk of premature birth.
To avoid a folic acid deficiency, the DGE recommends that pregnant women take a daily intake of 400 to 800 micrograms folic acid. One folic acid capsule a day is enough to effectively prevent a deficiency.
Folic acid is essential for healthy cell division. If bodily processes that are dependent on folate are impaired or disrupted, the formation of DNA can even be prevented. This in turn triggers a so-called megaloblastic anemia a disease in which too few or deformed red blood cells are formed.
Like some of the other B vitamins, folic acid plays an important role in lowering an excessively high homocysteine level in the blood. Homocysteine is a compound that can build up in the blood vessels and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The fact that an elevated homocysteine level is also associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's and dementia has now been proven in many observational studies.
➤ Would you have thought that Alzheimer's is now the 7th leading cause of death? cause of death cause of death?
In some studies, a link between low folate levels and impaired cognitive performance has also been observed. It is known that folate lowers homocysteine levels and thus improves cognitive function function, while at the same time reducing the risk of dementia in old age.
➤ Folic acid also supports the absorption of vitamin B12, which is very important for the absorption of nutrients, brain function and the regulation of energy expenditure.
Researchers even suspect that low folate levels are associated with depression.
In both clinical and observational studies, scientists have been able to link low folate levels with depression and a poor response to antidepressants. A US study with 2948 subjects clearly showed that folate levels were significantly lower in people suffering from severe depression than in those who had never experienced depressive symptoms in their lives. This is why folate is often prescribed as an adjunct in the treatment of depression.
The restless legs syndrome is characterized by the urge to move the legs and mainly occurs at night. In principle, anyone can suffer from this syndrome, but pregnant women in particular are at increased risk.
In this context, studies indicate that low folate levels may be associated with the development of restless legs syndrome - especially during pregnancy. Interestingly, according to a report in the journal Alternative Medicine Review can be noticeably alleviated by taking folic acid.
As folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin, side effects are side effects are very rare. occur. An overdose over a longer period of time over a long period of time can, however, have consequences such as
Some scientists fear that an excessive intake of folate may mask a vitamin B12 deficiency until the resulting neurological damage has become irreversible. An unrecognized B12 deficiency can therefore be very dangerous.
Epileptics should clarify the use of folic acid capsules with their naturopath or doctor beforehand, as interactions may occur if medication is taken at the same time.
Similarly, people taking medication to treat rheumatoid arthritis should also refrain from taking folic acid capsules, as the effects of both drugs would otherwise neutralize each other.
Recommended intake Folic acid capsules:
Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet.Store in a cool, dry place away from light. Keep out of the reach of small children.

Folate is the bioactive and natural form of folic acid and is therefore more suitable for the human body.
We at Herbano use the higher quality bioactive folate for our capsules. For ease of use, we still refer to them as folic acid capsules, as folic acid is better known.
