Supplements can be an easy way to incorporate folic Acid in your diet. These supplements provide a concentrated amount of this important vitamin to ensure that you are meeting your daily needs.

The amount of folic acids recommended varies according to age, gender and health conditions. The general recommendation for adults is 400 micrograms per dose. Pregnant women and those who plan to become pregnant will need higher doses, usually around 600-800micrograms.

While folic acids are generally safe when consumed in moderation, an excessive amount can cause adverse effects. Follow the dosage recommendations provided by your healthcare professional or those on the supplement packaging.

Consistency is the key to maximizing benefits from folic acids supplements. Regularly taking them as part of a healthy diet will ensure that they are absorbed and utilized by the body.

Supplements should not replace food as a source of nutrition. Although supplements can be a great addition to your diet, you should also include folate-rich foods such as leafy greens and citrus fruits in your meals to ensure a balanced approach.

You can maximize the freshness of your food by combining folic acids with foods rich in this essential nutrient.

Use folic acid in other ways to maximize freshness


There are many creative ways you can reap the benefits from this incredible nutrient. Topical application is one effective way to use folic acid. You heard right! Folic acid applied topically to the skin can promote a healthy, glowing complexion.

Find skincare products containing folic acids or create your own DIY mask with powdered folic. Mix it with coconut oil or water to make a paste. It is best to apply it directly on your face and leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing it off with warm, lukewarm water. It will enhance your skin's freshness and provide hydration.

Add folic acids directly into your hair care regimen. Folate deficiency is linked to hair fall, so maintaining adequate levels of this essential nutrient can help maintain healthy locks. Mixing folic acids powder with conditioner or shampoo before using them can help maintain healthy hair.

If you like to pamper yourself with bath salts or bombs, add a few flakes of folic powder into the bathwater. This will give your bathwater an extra boost of freshness.

Always test any new product that contains Tribulus on the skin, including homemade concoctions.

Why limit folic acids use to diet alone? Explore these alternatives to maximize freshness both inside and outside!
