When it comes to folic acid, everyone’s first reaction is almost to think of the need for pregnancy or pregnancy, because it plays an important role in fetal growth, nerve development, etc., and can reduce the incidence of child malformations.
In fact, it is not a patent for pregnant women. Middle-aged and elderly people are also important groups of folic acid supplements.
China’s first “Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus on Reasonable Supplementation of Folic Acid in China” pointed out that some high-risk groups of cardiovascular disease, such as high-risk groups of cardiovascular disease and hypertensive patients with hyperhomocysteinemia, can supplement folic acid, thereby Decreases homocysteine (Hcy) levels.
Elevated levels of homocysteine are not only an independent risk factor for vascular problems, but also related to coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, Alzheimer’s and other diseases!
A study found that when the Hcy level exceeds 14μmol/L, the risk of Alzheimer’s doubles; for every 5μmol/L increase, the risk of Alzheimer’s increases by 40%! In addition, folic acid is known as the “blood-forming vitamin” and can also prevent anemia.
Although folic acid is good, it is not the more the better. According to the “Recommended Dietary Nutrient Standards for Chinese Residents”, the tolerable maximum intake of folic acid is 1 mg per day. Individual specific needs, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s advice to supplement.
