A member asked:

Is folic acid a treatment for anemia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

For some types: Folic acid is a treatment for anemia due to deficiency of folic acid. For safety it should be take with vitamin B12. If you are anemic it is more likely to be due to iron deficiency. It would be prudent to see a doctor and have a simple test that will be a good indication of the cause of anemia so that appropriate treatment may be given. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
