What Are the Benefits of Folic Acid Tablets, and Who Should Take Them? - #14476
I have been hearing a lot about folic acid tablets, especially for pregnancy and general health, but I want to understand how they work and who really needs them. Some people say that folic acid is essential for DNA formation and preventing birth defects, but I am unsure whether everyone should take it or only specific groups. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) plays a crucial role in cell division, red blood cell production, and brain function. It is especially important for pregnant women to prevent neural tube defects in babies, but it is also beneficial for heart health, mental clarity, and reducing anemia risk. Many doctors recommend taking folic acid supplements for those with deficiencies, but some say a balanced diet rich in leafy greens and legumes is enough. However, I want to know whether excess folic acid intake has any side effects. For those who take folic acid tablets, what benefits have you noticed in energy levels, hair health, or overall wellness? Would love insights into who should take folic acid, the best dietary sources, and whether supplements are always necessary.
