Was Folic Acid abandoned?

Folic Acid is one of the most overlooked supplements. On of the reasons is that many multi-vitamins contain folic-acid. Check your multi-vitamin and if it doesn't contain Folic Acid you should top-up your vitamins with Folic Acid.

Folic Acid is found in dark-green leafy vegetables, liver, brewers’ yeast, whole grains, bran, asparagus, lima beans, lentils, and orange juice and has the following roles:

*Needed for blood cell production and protein metabolism
*Reduce susceptibility to infection
*Lower levels of the amino acid homocysteine and therefore reduce the chance for stroke.
*Lower the risk of heart disease by preventing damage to the inner lining of arteries.
*Prevent cognitive decline by keeping homocysteine level under control.

The recommended dose is 400 mcg for long-term safe level. Please seek your doctor’s advice if you take antiepileptic drugs
