If you’re frequently tired‚ overly sensitive to cold‚ or noticing mouth sores‚ you may have a folic acid deficiency. Other potential signs of such a deficiency can include unusually pale skin and suddenly graying hair. Folic acid is an important B vitamin that your body uses to make red blood cells and proteins. It’s found in yeast‚ liver‚ green vegetables‚ and some fruits. In order for your body to use the folic acid it absorbs‚ it has to convert it into 5-MTHF or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate‚ the form of folic acid that is found in your blood and other cells.
5-MTHF is the most biologically active form of folate. Not having enough 5-MTHF can cause anemia‚ a condition where your cells don’t grow normally because they can’t absorb sufficient levels of iron. Pregnant women also need sufficient levels of folic acid for the growth of their babies.
You can become deficient in folic acid if your diet doesn’t contain enough foods that are rich in it. You can also get folic acid deficiency if you have Crohn’s disease‚ celiac disease (sprue)‚ or other intestinal illnesses that cause diarrhea and interfere with your ability to absorb nutrients. Alcoholics and those with genetic defects that that prevent your body from converting folic acid into 5-MTHF are also susceptible.
Since it’s water-soluble‚ your body can’t store folic acid for long periods of time. Therefore‚ it’s important to get it in your diet regularly. If you aren’t getting enough in your diet‚ you can take a supplement like Priority One’s 5-MTHF. The main ingredient helps your body maintain normal cell growth and healthy DNA.
