Folic acid is an important micronutrient helpful to maintain overall health. Athletes and active adults can be at increased risk of folic acid deficiency performing high-intensity exercise. Monitoring folic acid status, and maintaining normal homocysteine levels are essential if participating in strenuous sports.Effect of folic acid in physically active adults.
Active adults, like professional athletes who practice strenuous exercise, spend much more vitamin B9. This makes the homocysteine levels to rise. Although this is a completely natural process, the lack of vitamin B9 and the altering of homocysteine levels can put your body at risk. One of the main consequences is related to the heart or.
Supplementing with folic acid may help reduce homocysteine levels and heart disease risk in this population.Folic acid is the synthetic version of the water-soluble vitamin folate, a B-vitamin (B9). Foods are often “fortified” with folic acid because in its natural state, folate doesn’t do well when it.Summary Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, an important B vitamin. Most people get enough folate from their diet, but people at risk of deficiency and women who may become pregnant may.High levels of folic acid may mask vitamin B12 deficiency, so talk with your doctor before taking folic acid.
Folic acid supplementation is not suitable for people with megaloblastic anemias in which vitamin B12 is deficient. All of the B vitamins, including folic acid, are water-soluble; which means that the body does not store them.Folic acid is a B vitamin that helps your body make red blood cells.
If you don’t have enough red blood cells, you have anemia. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all parts of your body. When you have anemia, your blood can’t bring enough oxygen to all your tissues and organs.Folic acid helps your body produce and maintain new cells, and also helps prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer.
As a medication, folic acid is used to treat folic acid deficiency and certain types of anemia (lack of red blood cells) caused by folic acid deficiency.Folate, or folic acid, is a type of B vitamin.It helps to: make DNA; repair DNA; produce red blood cells (RBCs); If you don’t have enough folate in your diet, you may end up with a folate.According to the Institute of Medicine in the US, adults should consume 400 micrograms of folic acid a day. This substance, also called folate or vitamin B9, is crucial for our health as it helps our body make and repair DNA and produce red blood cells. If your body lacks folate, you may suffer from certain symptoms and even develop anemia, a condition when your internal organs can’t get.
Because folic acid is water-soluble, your body uses folic acid quickly, so your body needs folic acid each day to work properly. Who Should Take Folic Acid? All women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should consume more folic acid.
Your body does not convert it into active vitamin B9 very well, so unmetabolized folic acid may build up in your bloodstream. Is unmetabolized folic acid harmful?Why is folic acid important? The vitamin folic acid (also known as folate) is one of the B vitamins.
It is mportant in the production of blood cells and may be important for some nerves. The babies of women who don’t get enough of it in the early stages of pregnancy are more likely to have birth defects, especially a type called neural tube defects, which affect the brain and spinal cord. The.
Women need to take folic acid every day, starting before they are pregnant to help prevent NTDs. CDC and the US Public Health Service urge every woman who could become pregnant to get 400 micrograms (400 mcg) of synthetic folic acid every day.More research is needed and folic acid is not a replacement for conventional antidepressant therapy.
Suggested intake: The upper daily limit recommendation for adult men is 1 milligram.

I’m a carrier of thalassemia disorder, and I have to consume folic acid whole my life..
Nice video. It should be noted that the definition of anemia is an abnormally low level of red blood cells. There are three main types of anemia: (1) anemia caused by decreased or defective production of red blood cells; (2) anemia caused by increased destruction of red cells in the blood; (3) anemia caused by excessive blood loss. Nutritional anemia due to folate deficiency is the first type.
thanks for the clear video and info! I just got informed i’m folic deficient, been losing weight for months no idea why, I consume plenty fruit and veg, and am a 33yr old male so not pregnant lol. Also diagnosed with ADHD last year and I am wondering how long and how much of an impact this hidden deficiency has been having on me. Doctors prescribed me with folic acid tablets, but I am fairly sure they’re ignoring the fact that I tell them I eat plenty of B vit foods and even take a regular B vit complex too…
Thank you. I will be learning this on a course before surgery next year.
could you possibly do a video on depersonalization/derealization disorder?
You forgot to mention about those people who underwent surgery for removal of the small intestine
Thanku for uploading this. I’m a premium osmosis member and please update the anemias. Website lacks that.
Woow. Now everything that I had to learn by heart in medschool I can understand it now very clearly. Thank you so much Osmosis, you are helpful even in holidays
The methylene group from the THF=CH2 is transferred to d-UMP with help of B12?
You said methionine is an essential amino acid. But it can be formed from homocysteine by methylation reaction. So then how can methionine be essential if it’s produced by the body?
Your videos are great…but as a high school student I don’t understand…any ways to improve it?I’d like to learn more stuff from you!
Can’t believe this video was released on the day I had a tutorial session about anemia!!!:D
I love Osmosis videos in general but more often than not I feel they go into too much detail on specific and not useful information, as exemplified in this video, where all these enzymes, sub-products and precursors are explained without having any clear use in clinical practice and even in medical exams. I feel like there are many other points you guys could better cover instead of focusing on these minor details, like how to choose treatments, drug doses or important considerations.
Awesome & informative video, but I like Tanner’s voiceovers better.
Love you osmosis
Please make all free videos
Its a human thing
Thank you brothers
I will say a whole food plant based diet phased in correctly with high blended ripe fruits, exercise, and minfullness is a better strategy than medication I have UC and am living my life with no meds
I NEED HELP I HAVE FLAIR UPS SO BAD I AM GETTING CRAMPING AND SEVERE SWELLING WHAT AM I DOING WRONG WHAT IS A GOOD DIET?
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you researched Weyannah Reyharlotte Method (just google it)? It is a great exclusive product for getting rid of IBS and irritable colon Immediately minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin after many years got great success with it.
Honestly the most concise video on IBD I’ve ever seen…as someone with UC, this is a brilliant resource, so thank you so much!
This calculator gives you the recommended daily allowance values of various Vitamins and Minerals needed for the baby. Click here: https://www.pediatriconcall.com/calculators/recommended-daily-allowance-of-various-vitamins-and-minerals-calculator
My recent bloodwork showed high RDW and low MCV, could this possibly be an indication of low b12 or folic acid?
Can i consume 3mg of folic acid per day? Am consuming folic acid due to anemia.
hey, i’ve had this! it was a really terrible experience i was constantly exhausted and had terrible chest pain, it felt like i was constantly out of breath. i also got sores on my tongue that would last weeks. if you suspect you may have folate deficiency please don’t wait to see a doctor, it’ll save you a lot of pain!
Eating every 2-3 hrs!! Such a horrible advice pls be more educated and don’t share wrong info it’s 2019 now and all resources are available! Every time u eat u spike insulin then how supposed to maintain glucose level or even metabolism?! UCLA!
