What Are the Uses of Folic Acid Tablets, and Who Needs Them the Most? - #14493
I recently came across folic acid tablets, and while I know they are important during pregnancy, I want to understand their other health benefits and who should take them. Some people say that folic acid is only for pregnant women, but I am unsure whether it has broader health applications. Folic acid (Vitamin B9) supports DNA formation, red blood cell production, and brain function. It is essential for pregnant women, people with anemia, and those with high homocysteine levels. Many doctors recommend folic acid for heart health, mood balance, and reducing birth defects. However, I want to know whether natural folate from food is enough or if supplements are necessary. For those who take folic acid tablets, what benefits have you noticed in energy, mood, or overall health? Would love insights into who should take folic acid and whether high doses have any risks.
