Also known as Vitamin B9, folic acid plays a key role in several fundamental metabolic processes. Firstly, it contributes to the synthesis of amino acids – the ‘building blocks’ used to construct all proteins, which are essential for reproduction, growth, proper functioning and the repair of all cells.
Furthermore, it aids haemopoiesis: the formation and ‘maturation’ of all types of blood cells. This is why folic acid is so important for everyone, and particularly during pregnancy for the growth of maternal tissues and, more specifically, during the early stages of embryonic development.
Furthermore, folic acid is always of great importance for the wellbeing of the whole body, as it contributes significantly to the physiological activity of the immune system, to normal psychological function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The name of this vitamin derives from the Latin ‘folium’, meaning leaf: indeed, folic acid is found mainly in broad-leaved green vegetables such as spinach, Swiss chard and lettuce, but it can also be found in fruit, pulses, nuts and cereals.
An extra boost for the body
The human body is unable to produce folic acid; however, it is possible to obtain a good amount of this vitamin through a balanced and varied diet.
