The benefits of folic acid for humans, interaction with other vitamins and minerals. Combination with drugs.

For the normal functioning of the body, a person needs a large amount of vitamins and minerals.

One of these elements is vitamin B9. It is also called “women’s vitamin”, because... it is especially necessary for the fair half of humanity to maintain reproductive function, prevent infertility and the normal course of pregnancy.

Description of folic acid

Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. Participates in the formation of DNA cells and hematopoiesis. A person receives it with food, or through synthesis by intestinal microflora.

B9 is found in large quantities in greens: spinach, parsley, also in liver, legumes, and is part of honey. Folic acid can treat a common disease among pregnant women, such as anemia.

The vitamin is especially necessary during increased DNA cell division. This is the period intrauterine development of a child and the first year of life. During pregnancy and lactation, a woman needs to receive the right amount of vitamin B9 in order to reduce the risk of developing diseases in the fetus and subsequently in the newborn.

According to the standards adopted in the Russian Federation, the norm of consumption of this element by pregnant women is 0.6 mg per day, during lactation - 0.5 mg per day.

ATTENTION: When cooking meat, vegetables, and eggs, up to 90% of the folic acid they contain is lost. It also breaks down when frozen.

Compatibility with vitamins

In order for a useful element to be better absorbed by the body, you need to know which vitamins it is compatible with and which it is better not to consume it with. Below are interactions with the most common vitamins:

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)

Folic acid has good compatibility with vitamin B12; they jointly participate in the synthesis of amino acids. But, at the same time, long-term consumption of B9 in large doses can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body.

Vitamin B6

Long-term deficiency in the body of this vitamin leads to a lack of folic acid. The interaction of folic acid and B6 improves blood circulation, prevents the formation of plaques in the blood, which reduces the likelihood of developing atherosclerosis.

Is it possible to take folic acid with vitamin C?

Folic acid is well absorbed together with vitamin C. Moreover, vitamins C and B9 are recommended for use in their combination.

Vitamin E

Neutral to combination with vitamin B9. Often prescribed together in a complex of vitamins and minerals for pregnant and lactating women. Vitamin E itself has an antioxidant effect, and its functions are enhanced by vitamin C, which combines well with folic acid.

A nicotinic acid

Folic acid has good compatibility with nicotinic acid and is often combined as part of vitamin-mineral complexes. They do not have a negative impact on each other.

Vitamin D

There are no negative effects in combination with vitamin B9; they are often used in combination and are best absorbed together with vitamins C and E.

Aevit

It is a combined complex of vitamins A and E. No negative effects were observed in combination with folic acid.

Antivitamins and folic acid antagonists

Vitamin B2 decomposes vitamin B9 in the body, preventing it from being absorbed. Corticosteroids leaches vitamins from tissues alcohol-containing drugs, sulfonamides and aspirin in high doses they will also destroy folic acid and impair its absorption. Zinc also interferes with the absorption of folates, because in combination with them, it forms insoluble substances that cannot be absorbed into the body.

Mineral Compatibility

The above element combines well with some minerals, but at the same time may be poorly absorbed in combination with other mineral elements. The most common combinations of element B9 and minerals:

Iron (as well as drugs Sorbifer, Fenyuls)

Iron and folic acid have good compatibility.

With a lack of iron and vitamin B9, a disease such as anemia develops in the body. The most common preparations with iron that are prescribed for anemia are Sorbifer, Actiferrin, Fenyuls.

When breastfeeding, if the child has a lack of iron in the body, then appropriate medications are prescribed to the mother.

Iron does not combine well with manganese and calcium, but folic acid improves its absorption, and iron is also useful in combination with vitamins C and B2.

Iodine and iodomarin

Folic acid and Iodomarin are the drugs that are primarily prescribed when planning and during pregnancy.

They are necessary both for the proper development of the fetus and for the health of the expectant mother. They combine perfectly, iodine helps better absorption of B9 in the body.

Zinc

This mineral is necessary for the body to maintain immunity and has a healing effect.

At the moment, most people have a zinc deficiency, which makes it necessary to take it additionally as part of vitamin complexes. At the same time, zinc interferes with absorption folic acid in the body.

IMPORTANT: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the need for zinc also increases several times.

To ensure that zinc does not interfere with the absorption of folates, you should consult with your doctor about the best order to take these elements in order to maintain their effectiveness.

Drug compatibility

Many medications for the treatment of certain diseases need to be combined with element B9.

This may be due to various factors: poor absorption of the drug without the addition of appropriate vitamins, enhanced action due to additional elements, etc.

Below are the drugs and their interactions with folic acid:

Methotrexate

This medicine is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. It is distinguished by its effectiveness, but one of its side effects is disruption of folate absorption.

After numerous studies, the need was identified to accompany the course of taking Methotrexate with the introduction of folic acid. Taking element B9 in combination with Methotrexate reduces its side effects.

Elevit

Elevit is a vitamin and mineral complex that is prescribed to women during the planning period and during pregnancy.

Is it possible to take Elevit and folic acid at the same time?

Each Elevit capsule contains 800 mcg (or 0.8 mg) of folic acid. The daily intake during pregnancy varies from 400 mcg (or 0.4 mg) to 800 mcg (or 0.8 mg). Therefore, there is no need to take additional folic acid, in addition to Elevit. Thanks to Elevit, the deficiency of element B9 in the body of the expectant mother is quickly replenished.

In addition to B9, Elevit contains: vitamins C, E, B vitamins, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium and other minerals. Today, the vitamin and mineral complex Elevit, according to statistics, is prescribed to more than 80% of women during the planning period and during pregnancy.

These tablets have been developed specifically for pregnant women. Each tablet of the drug Maltofer Fol contains 350 mcg of element B9.

Compatibility of folic acid with alcohol

If there is a lack of folic acid in the body, then drinking alcohol aggravates this problem, because. prevents the transport of folate to tissues.

Alcohol has a strong negative effect on the body, washing away many beneficial substances and vitamins from it.

Excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages leads to acute lack of folic acid in the body and the development as a result of corresponding ailments: gastritis, ulcerative diseases and cancer.

ATTENTION: Folic acid has proven effective in preventing breast cancer in women.

If a woman abuses alcohol, this interferes with the absorption of the folate element and increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer. by 30%.

Pharmacology

The action of folic acid is aimed at maintaining normal cell function and renewal. Its participation is necessary for the process of metabolism of proteins and some amino acids. In combination with vitamin B12, folic acid is transformed into methionine, which the body needs for fat metabolism. Lack of acid leads to severe anemia. The human body is unable to store or synthesize folic acid. It can be obtained from food or medicine.

During pregnancy, folic acid reduces the risk of deformities in the fetus. Pregnant women require up to 600 mcg of acid daily.

B6 as part of the complex is aimed at improving the formation of hemoglobin and strengthening the protective functions of the body. It is involved in the construction of skin cells and is necessary for constant renewal. Pyridoxine is indispensable in the metabolism of lipids and amino acids. An important stimulant of muscle activity.

B12 is important for the normal functioning and health of nerve cells. With its deficiency, carbohydrate metabolism is disrupted. Participates in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Vitamin C is most important for maintaining the body's protective functions. It is an essential component of drugs in the complex treatment of various infectious and viral diseases. Ascorbic acid takes part in the metabolic processes of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids. When it is deficient, the quality of connective tissue is impaired, which leads to a host of diseases.

Vitamin E is best known as a powerful antioxidant that can protect the body from the effects of free radicals and the negative effects of toxic substances at the cellular level. Participates in the functioning of the immune system. Reduces the risk of high vascular permeability and helps make the walls more elastic.

Action

Folic acid is a vital and essential vitamin that the body needs to maintain numerous metabolic processes.

Folic acid is actively involved in protein metabolism, in the synthesis of nucleic acids and a number of amino acids. It plays a key role in homocysteine ​​metabolism. Under the influence of folic acid and vitamin B12, homocysteine ​​is converted into another amino acid - methionine, which takes part in fat metabolism. It has been proven that an increased concentration of homocysteine ​​in the blood plasma increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis, as this results in the formation of free radicals. This ultimately leads to damage to the endothelium of blood vessels. In addition, homocysteine ​​increases blood clotting.
Lack of folic acid disrupts normal hematopoiesis. With its deficiency, one form of anemia may develop within 4-5 months - megaloblastic (formation of abnormal blood cells).

The human body cannot create reserves of folic acid, therefore, to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system and the entire body as a whole, it is necessary to take care of its constant supply.
The daily need for folic acid is 400-600 mcg.

A pregnant woman should receive at least 600 mcg of folic acid per day. Studies show that sufficient intake of folic acid into the body of a pregnant woman reduces the risk of developing pathology in newborns. The maximum permissible daily dose is 1000 mcg per day.

Vitamin B6 takes part in the metabolism of lipids, amino acids, and the formation of hemoglobin. Stimulates muscle function, provides skin protective function, promotes growth.

Vitamin B12 necessary for normal hematopoiesis, as well as for the prevention of anemia. Participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids and is necessary for the functioning of nerve cells.

Vitamin C- vitamin of cellular protection. Increases the body's own immunity, takes part in the regulation of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, maintaining the function of connective tissue.

Vitamin E has an antioxidant effect, participates in the most important processes of tissue metabolism, and prevents increased permeability and fragility of capillaries. Improves metabolism in the cell, strengthening the body's immunity.

DEPO tablets provide a slow and gradual release of active substances, which allows them to be maximally absorbed by the cells of the body.
