Mistä saa foolihappoa?

itse kans eilen katselin foolihappoa apteekista, mutta en löytänyt. Siellä oli niin paljon porukkaa, etten ehtinyt jäämään ja kyseleen.

ja foolihappo muuten on yksi b-ryhmän vitamiineista :-)



Saa ihan tavallisesta ruuastakin, eli jos monipuolisesti syöt niin ei välttämättä ole tarvetta foolihappolisälle. Esim. me epileptikot taasen tarvitaan foolihappolisää raskauden aikana.

tiedän!! mutta esim. Englannissa jokaiselle raskaana olevalle naiselle, tai lasta suunnittelevalle annetaan foolihappoa ilmaiseksi, siis ihan vaan foolihappoa ei b vitamiiniä, mihin kuuluu myös foolihappo. Siellä suositellaan foolihappolisää vaikka kuin söisit parsakaalta ja muuta foolihappoa sisältävää ruokaa ja vaikka olet täysin perusterve

leaf vegetables such as spinach and turnip greens, dried beans and peas, fortified cereal products, sunflower seeds and certain other fruits and vegetables are rich sources of folate, as is liver. Some breakfast cereals (ready-to-eat and others) are fortified with 25% to 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for folic acid. A table of selected food sources of folate and folic acid can be found at the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.



Recent debate has emerged in the United Kingdom[1] and Australia[2]regarding the inclusion of folic acid in products such as bread and flour. Experts claim that this will decrease the number of babies with disabilities such as spina bifida. Research suggests high levels of folic acid can interfere with some antimalarial treatments.[3]

Folic acid is very important for all women who may become pregnant. Adequate folate intake during the periconceptional period, the time just before and just after a woman becomes pregnant, helps protect against a number of congenital malformations including neural tube defects.[12] Neural tube defects result in malformations of the spine (spina bifida), skull, and brain (anencephaly). The risk of neural tube defects is significantly reduced when supplemental folic acid is consumed in addition to a healthy diet prior to and during the first month following conception.[13][14] Women who could become pregnant are advised to eat foods fortified with folic acid or take supplements in addition to eating folate-rich foods to reduce the risk of some serious birth defects. Taking 400 micrograms of synthetic folic acid daily from fortified foods and/or supplements has been suggested. The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folate equivalents for pregnant women is 600 micrograms.
