TriVita Health -- Research and Focus -- Women Who Take Folic Acid May Reduce Their Risk of Developing Hypertension
New York, New York
A report published in The Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that all women should consider taking a folic acid supplements as early as the reproductive age (age will vary with different ethnic societies). This supplementation is important for both the baby’s health and women’s overall well-being. This study followed two groups of women over eight years. The first group (women ranging from 25 to 42 years of age) who consumed 1,000 micrograms of folic acid a day, were discovered to have decreased their risk of developing hypertension by 46%. The second group (women ranging from 30 to 55 years of age), who took the same amount of folic acid, decreased their risk of developing hypertension by 18%. The study later gave the women in both groups only 400 micrograms. The women in the younger group still decreased their risk of developing hypertension by 40%; the women in the older group – by 13%. This study suggests that the higher the amount of folic acid supplementation, the better the chance of preventing the development of hypertension.
