Folates
Folates, as coenzymes, participate in the metabolism of nucleic acids and amino acids. A deficiency of folates leads to disruption of nucleic acid and protein synthesis, resulting in inhibition of growth and cell division, especially in rapidly proliferating tissues: bone marrow, intestinal epithelium, etc. Insufficient intake of folate during pregnancy is one of the causes of preterm birth, hypotrophy, congenital malformations, and developmental disorders in children. A strong association has been shown between folate levels, homocysteine, and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The average consumption in different countries is 210 - 400 mcg per day. The established level of requirement in various countries is 150 - 400 mcg per day. The upper acceptable intake level is 1000 mcg per day.
The refined physiological requirement for adults is 400 mcg per day.
Physiological requirements for children range from 50 to 400 mcg per day
