Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)

Green leafy vegetables and legumes contain large quantities of Vitamin B9, but 90% of this vitamin is destroyed during the cooking process. One of the most important function of Vitamin B9 is in hematopoiesis, hemoglobin synthesis and red blood cell formation, thanks to which it helps prevent anemia. It is also required for the synthesis of nucleic acids, which contain heritable genes. Folic acid plays an important role in reproduction, increasing the synthesis of the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, improves ovarian function, facilitates normal sexual development and prevents early menopause. It improves the condition of the skin, and prevents acne, gray hair and baldness.
