If you are finding your brain not working efficiently for you then having folic acid<\/strong>, supplements may perhaps help you. This fact drifted out after researchers found that men and women between the ages 50 to 70, who took daily folic acid supplements had mental abilities equal to their contemporaries who were almost five years younger. However, research is still on the move to pick out the conclusion.<\/p>\n

Whereas older people may take this as good news at the same time, there is something, which may taste somewhat bitter, because scientists have also warned that taking folic acid supplements may also lead to vitamin B12 deficiency<\/a> in older people.<\/p>

On the basis of this study, it can definitely be said that whereas folic acid supplements are good for brainpower at the same time the threat of vitamin B12 deficiency is also there, which may pose serious threat to health. Interestingly, folic acid has also been proved better for fighting hearing loss.<\/p>\n

Earlier, too folic acid supplements were much in the limelight as they were dubbed as heart saviors by the researchers. However, a few days later researchers themselves had come out with a paradoxical statement.<\/p>\n

This time I hope same case would not be there.<\/strong><\/p>\n
