Depending on the dosages and forms of vitamin B9, there are names: folic acid, folate, folin, folacin.
Folates support the functioning of the endocrine, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and digestive systems. Beneficial effect on metabolic processes. Improve mood by participating in the production of serotonin.
The gut microbiome can produce a small amount of this substance, but most of the daily value must come from outside.
The scarcity of the diet, frequent snacks on the go, cause problems of a gastroenterological nature, and therefore the digestive system absorbs fewer nutrients. And B9 itself is water-soluble, which means it is easily excreted from the body naturally. Folic acid deficiency is not uncommon for a modern person.
Hypovitaminosis B9 is expressed in endless fatigue, apathy, irritability, lack of appetite.
