Q. I am not planning on becoming pregnant so is there istill a need for me to take this supplement?

A. Folic Acid works with other nutrients to control levels of the amino acid homocysteine. Elevated levels of this substance appear to be linked to certain chronic conditions such as heart disease and, possibly depression and Alzheimer's disease. There is also research that suggests that women who have a high rate of Folic Acid have a lower risk of developing breast cancer, so it is not only necessary for pregnant women or those planning a family.
