Folic Acid Lowers Risk of Alzheimers Disease

Wed, 12 Oct 2005 16:04:15 GMT

Alzheimer s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer s Association July 2005;1(1)

This important study was based on nutritional and dietary information collected from 579 people, ages 60 and older that showed no sign of Alzheimer s disease. The subjects in the study were instructed to maintain specific records of food consumed during a typical week and indicated whether or not they were taking supplements that contained Folic Acid (Folate.) Researchers recorded this data over a period of 10 years.

During the 10-year period, 57 people (nearly 10% of the total group) developed Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers determined those people who were regularly getting at least 400 micrograms of Folic Acid (Folate) per day had 55% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those who were consuming less than that amount. The researchers also concluded that most of the subjects were able to achieve a minimum of 400 micrograms (or more) by taking nutritional supplements containing Folic Acid.
