Folic Acid

Folic Acid, also known as vitamin B9, is one of the B vitamins. It is a kind of vitamin that is slightly soluble in water, but its sodium salt is highly soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol. This organic nutrient molecule has a wide range of distribution, and small bacteria or large biological life systems may contain folic acid. Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of human DNA, participates in the metabolism of amino acids, and the synthesis of hemoglobin, and plays a role in the biochemical reaction of the human body. Folic acid has a ripening effect on younger cells in the bone marrow of the human body. If the human body lacks folic acid (vitamin b9) for a long time, it is unfavorable for the production of red and white blood cells. Folic acid is especially important for pregnant women.

■ Folacin is a coenzyme that helps the synthesis of nucleic acid. The nucleic acid synthesis and normal cell division and replication will be affected if folic acid deficiency.

■ Folic acid vitamin b helps regulate the development of embryonic neurons and prevents newborn infants from developing congenital neural tube defects.

■ It (with Vitamin B12) is a must for the production of red blood cells and to prevent the treatment of folate anemia.

■ Protecting the mucous membranes, which are a very active part of cell division, decline, and regeneration.

■ Animal Feed: Adding 2.5 mg/kg of folic acid, the daily gain of piglets in the whole period is significantly higher than that of the basal diet group.
