Folic Acid

[Indigostreams]

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if any of you have taken a folic acid supplement and have seen faster growth from using it?

I currently take 5g of Folic Acid (doctor's prescription for fertility issues) and the daily recommended is 800mg. I've been taking it for 3+ years and my hair is just as thin and same growth rate as before.

I took Folic Acid for the better part of two years (perspcribed by a doctor for a bad case of anemia) didn't see any difference in my hair growth rate.

OK, thanks for sharing your experiences with me :)

I have taken it, but no change in hair growth. My mom swears by it to keep from getting hives. At your age (child bearing years) it is a generally good idea to take it, any way. It helps prevent neural tube defects within the first trimester. If you wait until you find out that you are pregnant, it is already too late to try to supplement. Of course, I am speaking in general terms here. I don't think it can hurt.
