The role and function of vitamin b9

Vitamins have a very good effect on human health. Not only can they make your skin red and tender, but they also have good nutritional value. Once the body lacks vitamins, it will affect the normal health of the human body and may cause anemia. For men, sexual dysfunction may also occur. Lack of vitamins in the fetus's body can also cause physical deformities in the baby.

1. Prevent neural tube defects in infants and young children

The early pregnancy is a critical period for the differentiation of fetal organ systems and the formation of the placenta. If there is a lack of folic acid at this time, it can lead to an increased incidence of fetal neural tube defects and even cause early spontaneous abortion. Therefore, women who are preparing to conceive should take folic acid regularly.

2. Prevent breast cancer

A 10-year study of 88,000 women by Harvard University found that the incidence of breast cancer in women who drink frequently increases by about 15%. However, if folic acid is taken regularly, this risk can be reduced by as much as 45%.

3. Prevent breast cancer

The incidence of breast cancer in women who drink alcohol regularly increases by about 15%. However, if folic acid is taken regularly, this risk can be reduced by as much as 45%.

4. Treatment of diarrhea in infants and young children

Diarrhea in infants and young children is mainly caused by rotavirus infection. Folic acid can synthesize folate in the body. This folate can not only promote the recovery of small intestinal mucosal epithelial function, but also has a certain effect in restoring the body's immune function.

5. Treatment of ulcerative colitis

Ulcerative colitis is a common chronic disease with complex causes and numerous treatments. Experiments have shown that oral folic acid combined with Chinese medicine enema treatment has obvious effects.

6. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease

Recent studies have found that when the body is deficient in folic acid, plasma homocysteine ​​levels increase. These elevated cysteine ​​levels are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

7. Treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis

Studies have shown that folic acid combined with morodan can improve gastric mucosal atrophy and clinical symptoms in patients with chronic atrophic gastritis by inhibiting proliferation, reducing damage, strengthening the spleen and relieving bloating, and unblocking meridians and relieving pain.

8. Treat vitiligo

Studies have shown that the levels of folic acid and VB12 in the serum of vitiligo patients are significantly lower than those of normal people. Therefore, some scholars have achieved good results in treating vitiligo by giving vitiligo patients oral folic acid and VB12 and local sunlight exposure.

9. Treat oral ulcers and senile atrophic glossitis

Studies have shown that a lack of folic acid and VB12 will interfere with the renewal and growth of tongue epithelial cells. In addition, folic acid can accelerate the growth of epithelial cells and the repair of mucosal tissue, shortening the healing process. Therefore, adding folic acid to the conventional treatment of oral ulcers and senile atrophic glossitis has a significant effect.

10. Treating perimenopausal depression

Clinical studies have shown that when estradiol valerate tablets are used to treat perimenopausal depression, the addition of folic acid and vitamin B12 orally is significantly more effective than using estradiol valerate tablets alone.
