FOLATE 400µG
What is Folate?
Folate is a water-soluble essential vitamin important in cell replication and precursor of tetrahydrofolate which is necessary for the synthesis of amino acids, nucleoproteins synthesis, catecholamines, as well as in purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Unlike synthetic folic acid, which is found in supplements and fortified foods, folate is metabolized more efficiently by the body.
Primarily, we acquire folate from green vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and spinach, although it can also be found in fortified cereals and meats.
Folate Deficiencies: What can happen to us?
A deficiency of folate can have serious effects on health. Some of the most common problems associated with a lack of folate are:
Megaloblastic Anemia
A deficiency of folate can cause megaloblastic anemia, a condition in which red blood cells do not develop properly and are too large to effectively transport oxygen. Symptoms include:
- Extreme fatigue
- Weakness
- Difficulty concentrating
- Paleness
Pregnancy Problems
For pregnant women, a deficiency of folate can increase the risk of neural tube defects in the fetus. This can lead to congenital malformations such as spina bifida, which can greatly affect the baby's quality of life.
Increase in Homocysteine
Low levels of folate in the body can cause an increase in homocysteine levels, which increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes.
Cognitive Impairment
Folate is crucial for the proper functioning of the brain. Deficiency can cause memory loss, confusion, and increase the risk of dementia or Alzheimer's in older people.
Digestive Problems
A deficiency of folate can also lead to digestive problems such as diarrhea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. In severe cases, it can affect the nervous system, causing tingling in the hands and feet.
