Benefits of Folic Acid For Managing Hypertension

Folic acid has been shown in clinical trails to have a multitude of important health benefits, including reducing the risks of colon and ovarian tumors, heart attack and stroke, and significantly reducing the risk of birth defects known as neural tube defects (spina bifida and other similar types of conditions).

In a recent American Heart Association conference on hypertension (high blood pressure) researchers reported on the results of over 95,000 women who had been part of the “Nurses’ Health Study”. Folic acid intake was analyzed. It was found that in the nurses group, ages 26 to 46, those women who took more than 800 mcg of Folic acid a day reduced the risk of hypertension by 29% compared to those nurses who consumed only 200 mcg of Folic acid a day. Women ages 43 to 70 who consumed more than 800 mcg a day of Folic acid had a reduction in hypertension risk of 13%. Since it is extremely difficult to consume 800 mcg of Folic acid from diet alone, all the women in the highest Folic acid intake group took supplemental vitamins.

Hypertension is a silent killer. It is a major risk factor for cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease (heart attack) and renal failure.

It is estimated there are approximately 50 million people in this country who have hypertension, however about 15 million of these people are undiagnosed! It used to be believed that hypertension was anything over 140/90, although more recent research has indicated that keeping blood pressure in the low normal range, around 110/60, actually reduces incidence of stroke and cardiovascular disease.

In addition to Folic acid, there are other nutrients that have been shown to have beneficial effect for promoting healthy blood pressure. These nutrients include Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Garlic, Calcium-Magnesium, Potassium and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). A study recently published in the journal Hypertension found that daily nighttime supplementation of Melatonin had a beneficial effect on reducing the blood pressure of male patients with hypertension. Melatonin intake was shown to reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improve sleep, while not affecting heart rates.

Folic acid is a B vitamins. Folate is the natural form of folic acid. Folate is found in citrus fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Synthetic (manufactured) folic acid is added to certain grain products. These products are then labeled as "fortified" with folic acid. Some multivitamins also contain folic acid.

Folic acid helps prevent some birth defects called Neural Tube Defects. Neural Tube Defects, or NTD, are defects of the spine and brain. They occur during the first month, before most women even know they are pregnant. The most common types of NTD are Spina Bifida and Anencephaly. A high percentage of NTD can be prevented by taking folic acid before and during early pregnancy. But the risk of NTD is not totally eliminated by using folic acid so prenatal visits with your doctor during pregnancy are important. 

Folic Acid may also help prevent heart disease, stroke, colon and other forms of cancer.
