The regular conquest of folic acid can improve the brain service with older people. Dutch scientists occupied that in a three year old study with more than 800 probands.
Trial participants that got additional folic acid remembered better and could process information more quickly, as Jane Durga of the Dutch university of Wageningen and colleagues in the British medicine journal «The Lancet» tell.
With increasing age the service of the brain decreases. Already longer researchers, the low one, presume
Leading folic acid values connectedly with a rise of the damaging amino acid Homocystein in the blood of brain service to be sunk. Furthermore an increased Homocysteingehalt could lead to Demenz and also Alzheimer. Folic acid lowers the Homocystein-concentration.
The researchers around Durga examined the cognitive abilitie of 818 men and women with increased Homocysteinwerten in the age of 50 to 75 years. The probands were divided into two groups with which the first group long took three years 800 micrograms of folic acid daily while the other group was getting a Placebo.
In the folic acid group the Homocystonemirror sank. In the case of different tests to the perception and reaction rate these probands came off also better than those of the Placebogroups did. Their services were comparable in the cut with those ones of of two to five years of younger human being.
According to the German society for nutrition (DGE) almost all Germans incorporate too little folic acid over the food. A day dose of 400 micrograms is recommended. Full granule products, liver and vegetables as spinach and Broccoli contain this vitamin from the B-complex. A lack can lead to blemish formations to illnesses of the heart circuit system and in the pregnancy with the embryo. In countries as Canada and the USA folic acid is added to already longer flour containing foods. Through that typical clinical pictures decreased in particular clearly with newborns.

Researchers from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago analysed eight trials of folic acid and found that taking a supplement of the vitamin produced a minimum of an 18 per cent drop in risk of stroke.
