Merit and Overdose of Folic Acid

Vitamins generally gives life. Their functions can nor be underrated. Folic acid is one of the B-vitamins

Folic acid treats folate deficiency as well as anemia. People who eat leafy vegetables, beans, yeast and mushrooms consume folic acid naturally. Folic acid supplements can help the bowel absorb nutrients properly.

Women may take folic acid to prevent birth defects and miscarriages during the early days of their pregnancy. The vitamin can also treat age-related conditions, AIDS and vitiligo.

Most people who take the recommended dose of 400 micrograms of folic acid suffer no side effects, The majority of patients take the smaller dose and should only take higher doses if medically advised.

Higher doses can contribute to a variety of issues, ranging from behavior changes to skin reactions. Taking high doses for an extended period can increase the risk of a heart attack in patients who already have health problems. Too much folic acid may also increase the risk of prostate and lung cancer.
