Why Every Man Should Take This “Female Vitamin”

Have you ever heard about folic acid? Do you know why women need to take folic acid during pregnancy?

Folate is important for the proper fetal development and formation of the neural tube.

The supplementation should start at least one month before pregnancy and is essential during the first eight weeks after conception when the nervous system and neural tube of the fetus are developing. Interesting, isn’t it?

But folic acid, also known as folate or vitamin B9, isn’t recommended only for pregnant women to prevent congenital disorders. Its properties are beneficial to everybody. Did you know that?

Folic acid has many purposes on our body, like:

Helps with brain health
Helps with anemia
Prevents cardiovascular diseases
Prevents some types of cancer
Boosts the mood

Additionally, folate strengthens the immune system since it participates in the formation and repairing of DNA, although more studies on this effect are needed.

If you take any medications for convulsion or rheumatism, only supplement folic acid with medical orientation.

Did you already know the benefits of folic acid for our body, or did you think it was only for pregnant women?
