Folic Acid Supplements

Folic acid is a B vitamin. In its natural form it is called folate or Vitamin B9. Our bodies use it to make new healthy cells and tissue. Folate is found in foods like dark green vegetables, citrus fruits, dried beans and peas. Folic acid is added to some foods such as cereals, flour, and bread. Not getting enough folic can lead to health problems like anemia (a low number of red blood cells in the body). It can also cause diarrhea, mouth sores, gray hair, and swelling of the tongue. We all need to eat foods with folic acid as part of a healthy food plan. It is even more important for women who are able to get pregnant. It helps prevent birth defects of their baby’s brain and spine. Many doctors urge women who are pregnant or are thinking about getting pregnant to take a folic acid supplement. A vitamin supplement is taken to make up for something lacking in food eaten. Folic acid supplements may also be helpful for other people. Those who have poor diets, digestive problems, or drink too much alcohol may benefit from supplements. A wide choice of folic acid supplements are at Walgreens for you to choose from.

Taking Folic Acid Supplements Safely

Folic acid is a vital nutrient that your body needs daily. Most adults need 400 micrograms of folic acid each day for good health. If you do not get enough folic acid from the foods you eat, you may decide to take a supplement. Folic acid supplements are often safe as long as you don’t take too much. Too much folic acid can cause reactions. It can lead to stomach pain, rashes, and problems with sleep. Severe issues can result from taking high amounts of folic acid for a long period of time. It might hide the signs of low levels of another B vitamin, B12. Some studies show too much folic acid may raise the risk of getting some forms of cancer. But this is not clear since other research showed it had no effect. Folic acid supplements may interact with a number of medications. You should not take them with some drugs given for cancer, seizures, and problems with the immune system. Folic acid supplements can also interfere with other supplements like green tea. Before taking a supplement on your own, talk to your doctor. He or she can help you decide if a folic acid supplement is right for you based on your health issues or concerns. The doctor can also tell you how much to take and if there are any interactions with prescription drugs, supplements, or over the counter medicines you are also taking.

Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects.

Folic Acid Oral: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing

Uses

Folic acid is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells.Folic acid supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of folic acid either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.
