Does it make sense to take folic acid alone?
No. Folic acid alone is not enough.
A few years ago, the DGE discovered that it was wrong. In Germany, the DGE determines how much of a vitamin is officially recommended. She was wrong in her assessment of the folic acid value. And she had the courage to admit that and just put out the recommendation to take more folic acid.
In the U.S., it was quicker. There, although not everywhere, they are leaders in the field of research into the optimal dose of vitamins. This USA has required by law since 1998 that folic acid be added to bread, flour, cornmeal, rice and pasta. The reason was congenital malformations in children and heart attacks caused by too high homocysteine. These occurred more frequently in people with low folic acid status.
Folic acid can do much more
But folic acid can do much more, namely put you in a good mood. Except for the liver, no other organ contains as much folic acid as the brain. There’s a good reason for this: folic acid can put your neurons in a good mood. How does she do it? It participates in the production of the happiness messengers serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine.
