Pharmacology
The action of folic acid is aimed at maintaining the normal functioning and renewal of cells. Its participation is necessary for the process of metabolism of proteins and some amino acids. In combination with vitamin B12, folic acid is reborn into methionine, which is necessary for the body for the metabolic processes of fats. 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 medicines.
During pregnancy, folic acid reduces the risk of malformations in the fetus. Pregnant women need up to 600 micrograms 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 for 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, the metabolism of carbohydrates is disturbed. Participates in the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
Vitamin C is most important for maintaining the protective functions of the body. 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. With its deficiency, the quality of connective tissue is disrupted, 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 work of immunity. Reduces the risk of high vascular permeability and helps to make the walls more elastic. Tocopherol is one of the most important components for slowing down the aging process, and is considered the “beauty vitamin”.

Doppelgerz® Active Folic Acid + Vitamins B6+B12+C+E
For cardiovascular health
Folic acid is a vital and irreplaceable vitamin that the body needs to support numerous metabolic processes.
Folic acid is involved in the synthesis of amino acids, is necessary for the processes of cell division and growth, plays a key role in the exchange of one of the amino acids - homocysteine. Under the influence of folic acid and vitamin B12, homocysteine levels are normalized and the risk of heart attack is reduced. The human body cannot create reserves of folic acid, therefore, in order to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system and the whole organism as a whole, it is necessary to take care of its constant intake.
Vitamins C and E, which are included in the complex, being powerful antioxidants, protect the cells of the body from the damaging effects of free radicals, thereby reducing the risk of developing cardiovascular and oncological diseases.
B vitamins actively participate in the formation of enzymes that regulate metabolic processes.
Special shell tablets - DEPO provides a slow and gradual release of the contained components throughout the day, which allows vitamins and minerals to be absorbed by the body as much as possible.
Indications for use
- To reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis.
- Increases the elasticity of blood vessels.
- Actively participates in the metabolism of proteins and enzymes.

Action
Folic acid is a vital and irreplaceable vitamin that the body needs to support 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 is involved in the metabolism of fats. It has been proven that an increased concentration of homocysteine in the blood plasma increases the risk of developing atherosclerosis, since free radicals are formed in this case. Ultimately, this leads to damage to the endothelium of the blood vessels. In addition, homocysteine increases blood clotting.
A lack of folic acid disrupts normal hematopoiesis. With its deficiency within 4-5 months, one of the forms of anemia can develop - megaloblastic (the formation of abnormal blood cells).
The human body cannot create reserves of folic acid, therefore, in order to maintain the health of the cardiovascular system and the whole organism as a whole, it is necessary to take care of its constant intake.
The daily requirement for folic acid is 400-600 mcg.
A pregnant woman should receive at least 600 micrograms of folic acid per day. Studies show that a sufficient intake of folic acid in the body of a pregnant woman reduces the risk of developing pathology in newborns. The maximum allowable daily dose is 1000 mcg per day.
Vitamin B6 takes part in the metabolism of lipids, amino acids, the formation of hemoglobin. Stimulates the work of muscles, provides a protective function of the skin, 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, 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, prevents increased permeability and capillary fragility. Improves metabolism in the cell, strengthening the body's immunity.
Tablets - DEPO provide a slow and gradual release of active substances, which allows them to be absorbed by the cells of the body as much as possible.

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 the "female vitamin", because. it is especially necessary for the beautiful half of humanity to maintain reproductive function, prevent infertility and normal pregnancy.
Description of folic acid
Folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin. Participates in the formation of DNA cells and in hematopoiesis. A person receives it with food, or through the synthesis of intestinal microflora.
In large quantities, B9 is found in greens: spinach, parsley, also in the liver, legumes, and is part of honey. Folic acid is able to treat such a common disease among pregnant women as anemia.
The vitamin is especially needed during increased DNA cell division. This is the period intrauterine development of the child and the first year of life. A woman during pregnancy and lactation needs to receive the right amount of vitamin B9 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 rate of consumption of this element by pregnant women is 0.6 mg per day, during lactation - 0.5 mg per day.
ATTENTION: during the heat treatment of meat, vegetables, eggs, up to 90% of the folic acid contained in them 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 ones it is better not to use. Below will be the interaction with the most common vitamins:
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)
Folic acid has good compatibility with vitamin B12, they are jointly involved in the synthesis of amino acids. But, at the same time, long-term use of B9 in large doses can lead to a deficiency of vitamin B12 in the body.
Vitamin B6
Prolonged 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 occurrence of plaques in the blood, which reduces the likelihood of developing atherosclerosis.
Can you take folic acid with vitamin C?
Folic acid is well absorbed along 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, often combined as part of vitamin and mineral complexes. They do not have a negative impact on each other.
Vitamin D
There is no negative effect in combination with vitamin B9, they are often used in combination, it is best absorbed together with vitamins C, E.
Aevit
It is a combined complex of vitamins A and E. Negative effects in combination with folic acid were not observed.
Antivitamins and folic acid antagonists
Vitamin B2 decomposes vitamin B9 in the body, preventing it from being absorbed. Corticosteroids leach vitamin from tissues, alcohol-containing drugs, sulfonamides and aspirin in high doses, they also destroy folic acid and impair its absorption. Zinc also interferes with the absorption of folate, tk. in combination with them forms insoluble substances that cannot be absorbed into the body.
Mineral Compatibility
The above element is well combined with some minerals, but at the same time it can 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 iron preparations that are prescribed for anemia are Sorbifer, Aktiferrin, Fenyuls.
When breastfeeding, if the child has a lack of iron in the body, then appropriate drugs are prescribed to the mother.
Iron does not combine well with manganese and calcium, but folic acid improves its absorption, 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 during 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, has a healing effect.
At the moment, most people have a deficiency of zinc, which makes it necessary to supplement it as part of vitamin complexes. At the same time zinc prevents absorption folic acid in the body.
IMPORTANT: during pregnancy and lactation, the need for zinc also increases several times.
To prevent zinc from interfering with folate absorption, you should consult your doctor about the best order to take these elements in order to maintain their effectiveness.
Compatibility with drugs
Many drugs for the treatment of certain diseases need to be combined with the B9 element.
This may be due to various factors: poor absorption of the drug without the addition of appropriate vitamins, increased action due to additional elements, etc.
The following are the drugs and their interaction 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 a violation of the absorption of folates.
After numerous studies, it was found necessary to accompany the course of taking Methotrexate with the introduction of folic acid. Taking element B9 in conjunction 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.
Can I take elevit and folic acid at the same time?
Each Elevit capsule contains 800 mcg (or 0.8 mg) of folic acid. The daily norm during pregnancy varies from 400 mcg (or 0.4 mg) to 800 mcg (or 0.8 mg). Therefore, it is not necessary to take additional folic acid, in addition to Elevit. Thanks to Elevit, the deficiency of the B9 element 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, according to statistics, the Elevit vitamin-mineral complex is prescribed by more than 80% of women during the planning period and during pregnancy.
Maltofer
This drug is used to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia. There are two types: Maltofer and Maltofer Fol. Their differences are that all forms of Maltofer release contain only iron hydroxide polymaltose, and in chewable tablets Maltofer Fol, in addition to iron, folic acid is also present.
These tablets have been specially developed for pregnant women. Each tablet of the drug Maltofer Fall 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 exacerbates this problem, because. interferes with the transport of folates to tissues.
Alcohol has a strong negative effect on the body, washes away many useful 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 this of the corresponding ailments: gastritis, peptic ulcers and oncological diseases.
ATTENTION: folic acid has proven effective in preventing breast cancer in women.
If a woman abuses alcohol, it interferes with the absorption of the folate element and increases the likelihood of developing breast cancer. by 30%.
Conclusion
The benefits of folic acid for the human body can not be overestimated. This is an important and necessary element for maintaining health and preserving youth and beauty.
Of particular importance to him is the fact that the vitamin is necessary in the reproductive function, depends on it health and development of future children. In turn, the country's economy depends on the health of the population, because only a healthy population has a high working capacity and is able to raise the power and prestige of its state.
