  • This is not correct. Folic acid has been linked with increased cancer prevalence, can cause toxicity because it is readily absorbed and mask a vitamin B12 deficiency leading to neurological disorders and eventually death. If you are any sort of dietitian and done your research, you should know this.

  • I dont care if folic acid excess affects me because I have to take it.

    Folic acid is related to DNA synthesis and it prevents hairloss so I WILL take it even it causes dizziness.

    Id rather choose dizziness over hairloss.

    Kind regards
