Q: Folic Acid to Boost Memory?Is it true that folic acid can prevent Alzheimer's disease? I heard that it improves memory.
A: New findings do suggest that folic acid may slow the declines in memory that can occur with age. Dutch researchers recently presented compelling evidence from a three-year study that included 818 adults between the ages of 50 and 70, none of whom were having any memory problems.
During the study, the participants took either a placebo or 800 mg folic acid (twice the amount recommended for women of childbearing age to protect against birth defects).
Results showed that those who took the folic acid had memory scores equal to people five and a half years younger. The folic acid group in the study also did better in information processing and muscle skills. The study was conducted by researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands and reported at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference on Dementia Prevention.
