Question 1

black stool due to folic acid and ferrous ascorbate tablets?

Accepted Answer

That's normal: Iron pills turn the stool black.

Question 2

5mg of folic acid (daily) safe to use? will it help in growing hair faster and thicker?

Accepted Answer

listen to your body: Folic acid is generally considered safe but this is not a dose to correct deficiencies. Some individuals find high doses of Folic Acid cause them to feel hyperactive and excitable. If hair isn't growing normally you may be under stress.  Avoid alcohol, tobacco, and junk food. Eat healthy, get a good night sleep, reduce stress, and exercise to foster health.

Question 3

is it safe to take folic acid for hair?

Accepted Answer

Need more informatio: Problems with hair can be the result of zinc or magnesium deficiency. Thryoid problems also need to be ruled out. Biotin is another issue.

Question 4

does taking folic acid promote hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Folic Acid: Folic acid is a water-soluble b vitamin which is very important for healthy hair growth. However, Folic Acid does not promote new hair growth on its own; its benefits can be enjoyed along with the other forms of b vitamins to encourage health hair growth. A deficiency of this vitamin can lead to change in hair color.

Question 7

i have hair pills that have folic acid in them.is it ok for me to take them for trying to get pregnant until i finish the bottle?

Accepted Answer

Folic acid in preg.: Women need at least 1 mg of Folic Acid per day to minimize the possiblity of birth defects in their children. Ideally the Folic Acid should be taken starting before the pregnancy. I am concerned that the Folic Acid in your supplement would be bioavailable in this case.

Question 8

is taking 4mg of folic acid and biotin good for my hair?

Accepted Answer

No: One's hair will be "as good as it gets", if one eats a normal, healthy, balanced diet (which will contain all the folate (folic acid) and biotin needed for normal living). If a person has a rare disorder causing a deficiency of folate (folic acid) or of biotin, she can work out the details with her doctor. Normal people do not need extra doses of supplements, but 1 daily multivitamin or 1 prenatal vitamin is okay to take.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

B complex: B vitamins are routinely taken together safely.

Question 10

i do take biotin and folic acid daily but still my hair dont grow and tend to fall?

Accepted Answer

Does not always work: Although it is claimed by many that Biotin is good for hair growth and some even recommend its use to prevent and restore hair loss. So it may not help you grow your hair more . If your hair is falling you should consult your doctor or a Dermatologist.There are many causes of hair loss.And don't waste yourmoney
