Dai Yongmei, director of the Nutrition Department of Nanjing Maternity and Child Care Center, said that the benefits of taking folic acid by mothers are many, but the more they eat, the better.
it is understood that at present there are two kinds of Folic Acid Tablets on the market, one kind of 0.4 mg per piece, suitable for pregnant women and pregnant women, a group of 4 mg per tablet, more suitable for folic acid prone people. Experts say that excessive intake of folic acid in the human body can not only prevent fetal malformation, but also mask the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, interfere with the metabolism of zinc, and cause zinc deficiency. Low zinc content in the body will aggravate the pregnancy reaction, and the complications of delivery will also increase.
