Folic acid supplements found to significantly enhance memory function: NewsTarget.com

Folic acid supplements can boost the memory and brain power of older people with remarkable effect, a new study published Friday shows. In the study, men and post-menopausal women aged 50 to 70 years old who took daily doses of supplements had the same mental adroitness of people five years younger.

The ability to process information, react to moving objects and overall levels of brain power increased with age among the group that took daily folic acid supplements during the three-year study.

"The right supplements can greatly boost brain function," said Mike Adams, author of "Natural Health Solutions." "Folic acid is only one supplement out of dozens with proven brain function benefits, such as St. John's wort, Ginkgo biloba, vinpocetine and many others."

The study, from the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands, showed that the people who were given high doses of folic acid improved their brain power over counterparts given placebos.
