Folic Acid for Beauty and Health
You're an iron woman -- you take iron supplements to keep your blood pumping. You're not anemic, you're not tired. You take calcium for your joints, bones and teeth. You don't have osteoporosis, you hope. So why do you feel lackadaisical? You may need some ginseng for energy, but you also need 0.4 mg of folic acid daily -- two-thirds of women in the United States consume insufficient folic acid, especially women between the ages of 18 and 45. Folic acid can help prevent anemia along with iron. Women who have diabetes or are overweight especially need folic acid. Also, your chance of heart disease may drop, along with your risk for Alzheimer's. Do everyone a favor the next time you pump iron at the gym: Pass out some women's products with folic acid to your strength-training workout buddies.
