Folic Acid Vitamins (Birth Defect Information: Exposures and Risk Factors) CBDMP Home What is the difference between Folate and Folic acid? Folate is a naturally occurring B vitamin which plays a role in cell production and division, including the production of red blood cells.7 It is found in many foods such as spinach and leafy green vegetables, dried beans, liver and citrus fruits. Folic acid is the man-made form of folate. Folic acid can be taken as a vitamin supplement and is found in fortified foods, particularly grains, such as cereals, breads, and flours.1 Why should I take a Folic Acid Supplement? What are the benefits? During pregnancy, folic acid helps the neural tube grow. The neural tube is what develops into the baby’s brain and spinal cord. Without enough folic acid, the neural tube may not close correctly. This leads to spina bifida, a condition in which the spinal cord and/or a sac filled with spinal fluid protrude through an opening in the back. Insufficient folic acid can also lead to anencephaly, which is a condition where there is an absence of a large part of the brain and skull.7 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) a woman who supplements her diet with folic acid before and during pregnancy may be able to reduce the risk of her baby being born with spina bifida and anencephaly by 50-70%.1 Another study which was published in the British Medical Journal found that taking folic acid supplements during the first trimester "reduced the risk of isolated cleft lip (with or without cleft palate) by about a third."6 Other benefits of taking folic acid during pregnancy include: reduced risk of developing preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure), premature birth, low birth weight, miscarriage, and poor growth in the womb.7 How much Folic Acid should I be getting? When should I start taking Folic Acid? A woman who is pregnant should be getting 400 micrograms (mcg) of Folic Acid daily. In order to get the complete benefits that Folic Acid can offer in preventing birth defects of the brain and spine, a woman should start taking the recommended dose at least 1 month before she becomes pregnant and continue taking it throughout her pregnancy. 1 It is recommended that women of childbearing age get 400 mcg of folic acid every day because many pregnancies are unplanned and because NTDs occur within the first month of pregnancy, before most women even know they are pregnant.3 Why is Folic Acid beneficial to women of child-bearing age? Folic Acid supplements in the form of prenatal pills are recommended to woman of child bearing age because most women do not get the recommended dosage from their diets. In order to find out if you are getting enough Folic Acid, check the dietary labels on any supplements and foods you purchase. Make sure that it says 400 micrograms (mcg).1 Folic acid is also beneficial to women because it may lower the risks of heart disease, stroke and some types of cancers.7 Are there any side effects? Most adults do not experience any side effects when consuming the recommended amount each day, which is 400 mcg. There is some concern that taking too much folic acid (800 mcg or more) might cause serious side effects. Don't take more than 400 mcg per day unless directed by your healthcare provider.2 What other vitamins are recommended for pregnant women to help prevent birth defects?4,5 Additional Resources:

Folna kiselina u trudnoći Objavljeno: 15.03.2013 | Autor: trudnoca.hr Što je folna kiselina? Folna kiselina je jedan od 8 oblika vitamina B, poznat i kao vitamin B9. Njezin zadatak je pretvarati unesenu hranu u energiju. Najbolje je unositi folnu kiselinu kroz zdravu i reguliranu prehranu, no ukoliko želite zatrudnjeti preporučuje se dodatan unos putem tableta. Tijelo ju ne može samo proizvesti, a i vodotopiva je te se stoga sav neiskorišten dio folne kiseline izlučuje iz organizma mokrenjem. Folna kiselina hrani kosu, kožu i nokte se održava zdravim naš živčani sustav, mozak i jetru. Najbolji izvor folne kiseline je upravo u zdravoj prehrani, te stoga muškarcima, djeci i ženama koje nisu u reproduktivnoj fazi je sasvim dovoljna količina folne kiseline unesena putem zdrave i uravnotežene prehrane. Trudnicama se savjetuje dodatno uzimanje folne kiseline putem dodataka prehrani u periodu kada se pripremaju za trudnoću i do 12. tjedna trudnoće. Razlog tome je potreba za folnom kiselinom kako bi se fetus pravilno razvijao. U nedostatku iste može doći do oštećenja neutralne cijevi čime djetetov živčani sustav ostaje nerazvijen. U najgorem slučaju može doći do rascjepa gornje usne, rascjepa kralježnice (Spina bifida) ili nekih sličnih malformacija ploda. Vitamini skupine B Ukoliko se dodatno uzima isključivo folna kiselina, moguće je da dođe do neravnoteže kod količine vitamina skupine B te se stoga savjetuje uzimati ih zajedno sa folnom kiselinom. Upravo iz tog razloga danas postoji nebrojeno mnogo vrsta prenatalnih multivitaminskih pripravaka namijenjenih upravo trudnicama i ženama koje planiraju trudnoću koji sadrže sve potrebne vitamine i minerale. Doziranje i period uzimanja folne kiseline Prije početka uzimanja folne kiseline svakako se posavjetujte sa vašim obiteljskim liječnikom ili ginekologom. Oni će vas uputiti na to koliko često i koju količinu folne kiseline bi trebali uzimati. Naravno, ne zaboravite na zdravu prehranu bogatu mineralima, vitaminima i naravno, folnom kiselinom. U većini slučajeva se ženama savjetuje uzimanje oko 400 mikrograma (mcg) folne kiseline dnevno i to od trenutka kada počnu raditi na tome da zatrudne, pa sve do 13. tjedna trudnoće. Naravno, ukoliko nastavite uzimati folnu kiselinu i tokom cijele trudnoće ona neće naštetiti ni vama ni vašoj bebi, no o tome se svakako posavjetujte sa liječnikom. Dodatna potreba za folnom kiselinom Ukoliko liječnik utvrdi da vam je iz nekog razloga potrebna znatno veća količina folne kiseline on će vam preporučiti uz prenatalne vitamine i dodatne doze folne kiseline kao lijek (obično je to dodatnih 5mg dnevno). Razlozi za davanje dodatnih tableta folne kiseline su obično ako ste u prethodnoj trudnoći imali bebu sa oštećenom neutralnom cijevi, ako uzimate određene lijekove koji otežavaju apsorpciju folne kiseline u organizmu, ako bolujete od dijabetesa ili je vaš indeks tjelesne mase veći od 30. Dugotrajne dijete, neuravnotežena prehrana, konzumacija alkohola i pušenje su isto tako razlog za posezanjem za dodatnom količinom folne kiseline. Namirnice koje sadrže folnu kiselinu Najbolji izvor folne kiseline je upravo u zdravoj prehrani, te stoga muškarcima, djeci i ženama koje nisu u reproduktivnoj fazi je sasvim dovoljna količina folne kiseline unesena putem zdrave i uravnotežene prehrane. Najčešći izvori su zeleno lisnato povrće, mahunarke, leća, kelj, brokula, soja, jaja, meso, riba i mliječni proizvodi, naranče, repa, avokado, šparoge i teleće jetrice.
