Tips for folic acid supplementation:

The correct concept of folic acid supplement is that food supplement is not as good as medicine supplement! Because folic acid is unstable when exposed to light and heat and easily loses its activity, we really can't get much folic acid from food. For example, after vegetables are stored for 2 ~ 3 days, 50% ~ 70% folic acid is lost; Cooking methods such as soup can make folic acid in food lose 50% ~ 95%; Vegetables soaked in salt water also lose a lot of folic acid. Therefore, you need to take more folic acid supplements. In addition, Bian Xiao reminded: expectant mothers should never pay attention to their diet, because the natural folic acid absorbed by the human body is not as good as folic acid supplements. Although it is difficult for you to get enough folic acid in a healthy diet, other natural substances contained in it may help promote absorption. Therefore, for the health of you and your baby, you need to maintain a balanced and healthy diet and insist on taking folic acid.
