In the body it is converted to tetrahydrofolic acid, which is necessary for the maturation of megaloblasts and their transformation into normoblasts. With its deficiency megaloblastic type of hematopoiesis develops. It plays an important role in the metabolism of purines and pyrimidines, nucleic acid synthesis, amino acid metabolism (glycine, methionine and histidine).

After oral administration folic acid combines in the stomach with intrinsic Castl’s factor (a specific glycoprotein) and is absorbed in the upper duodenum. It is almost completely bound to plasma proteins. Subjected to activation in the liver under the influence of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, turning into tetrahydrofolic acid. Vitamin B9 deficiency impairs mitotic cell division, maturation and function.
