My doctor prescribed folic acid for my poriasis rash i want to know is it safe and ok?

Folic acid is a water soluble vitamin, a member of the B complex and is also known as Bc or vitamin M. Water soluble means that the body can't produce it by itself and therefore needs replenishment of this vitamin on a daily basis. The recommended daily intake for adults is 180 to 200 mcg. Also it can be destroyed by being stored, unprotected, at room temperature for extended time periods.

Folic acid will protect against intestinal parasites and food poisoning. It will also promote healthier-looking skin, which is why you have been prescibed it. If you are run-down it will also increase your appetite.

Best natural sources of folic acid are - deep green leafy vegies, carrots, liver, egg yolk, cantaloupe, apricots, pumpkins, avocados, beans, wholeand dark rye flour. Also high vitamin - C intake will increase excretion of folic acid and if you're taking more than 2g per of Vitamin Cper day, you should probably increase your folic acid intake. Also make sure that you are taking an adequate multivitamin B complex supplement to ensure that you are getting all your B vitamins.

Folic acid has no known toxic effects but apparently a few people have experienced allergic skin reactions, so just be aware of that.

PEACE & GOOD HEALTH

My mother has been battling psoriasis for about 70 yrs. There are many different treatments out there. If the folic acid doesn't work then try another med. Sunshine does wonders for psoriasis. And there are websites about that topic. Good Luck.
