Follicodemin is converted into tetrahydrofolic acid in the body, which is a coenzyme involved in various metabolic processes. It is necessary for the normal maturation of megaloblasts and the formation of normoblasts. Stimulates erythropoiesis, participates in the synthesis of amino acids (including methionine, serine), nucleic acids, purines and pyrimidines, choline, histidine metabolism.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) plays an important role in the planning phase of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the need for folic acid increases significantly. The vitamin actively participates in the formation of the placenta, so its deficiency can cause placental insufficiency and early termination of pregnancy. Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), which explains its role in the process of cell regeneration, maintaining the normal structure of all tissues and organs, mediating the blocking of transformations into malignant cells, participates in hematopoiesis (in the formation of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets).

Folic acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus. When breastfeeding, the newborn receives the right dose of folic acid, all the necessary vitamins and minerals from the mother’s milk.

Folic acid deficiency in a nursing mother can significantly affect her well-being.
