Folic acid kunye nothintelo lokuzalwa kwesiphene

Ukuthatha i-folic acid ngaphambi nangexesha lokukhulelwa kunokunciphisa umngcipheko weziphene ezithile zokuzalwa. Oku kubandakanya i-spina bifida, i-anencephaly, kunye nezinye iziphene zentliziyo.

Iingcali zicebisa abasetyhini abanokukhulelwa okanye abaceba ukukhulelwa bathathe ubuncinci ii-micrograms (µg) ze-folic acid yonke imihla, nokuba abalindelanga ukukhulelwa.

Kungenxa yokuba ukukhulelwa okungacwangciswanga kungacwangciswanga. Kwakhona, ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa kuhlala kwenzeka kwiintsuku zokuqala ngaphambi kokuba wazi ukuba ukhulelwe.

Ukuba ukhulelwe, kuya kufuneka uthathe ivithamini yokubeleka, eya kubandakanya i-folic acid. Uninzi lweevithamini zokubeleka lune-800 ukuya kwi-1000 mcg ye-folic acid. Ukuthatha i-multivitamin nge-folic acid kuyanceda ukuqinisekisa ukuba ufumana zonke izondlo ozifunayo ngexesha lokukhulelwa.

Abasetyhini abanembali yokuhambisa umntwana onesiphene se-neural tube banokufuna idosi ephezulu ye-folic acid. Ukuba ukhe wanomntwana onesiphene se-neural tube, kuya kufuneka uthathe i-400 µg ye-folic acid yonke imihla, nokuba awucwangcisi ukukhulelwa. Ukuba uceba ukukhulelwa, kuya kufuneka uthethe nogqirha wakho malunga nokuba kufuneka uyonyuse na i-folic acid oyityayo ukuya kwi-4 milligrams (mg) yonke imihla ngenyanga phambi kokuba ukhulelwe de kube li-12 iveki yokukhulelwa.

Ukuthintela iziphene zokuzalwa nge-folic acid (folate)

• Ikota yokuqala yokukhulelwa
• Ifolic acid
• Iiveki zokuqala zokukhulelwa
