A member asked:

I am a patient of pcos with irregularities in pms.i am advised to consume 1mg of folic acid every day. does this helps in retaining cycles?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Folic acid : Folic acid is good for many things and does decrease the risk of birth defects should you conceive but it does not help regulate menstrual cycles. Hope this helps.
