Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency are common in the older and are associated with several conditions including anaemia, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and cancer. Evidence from in vitro studies suggests that solar radiation can degrade both vitamins in the skin. Chile is the longest...
The common 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism causes decreased activity of this enzyme and can be associated with mild-to-moderate hyperhomocysteinemia in homozygotes, particularly when there is folic acid deficiency, as well as with vascular dementia, arterial thrombos...
Folate deficiency is associated with increased risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) and acute lymphocytic leukemia. Conversely, high folic acid (FA) intake has been associated with higher CRC risk. However, the mutagenic potential of FA intake in different tissues has not been characterized. Here we ...

Copper toxicity takes direct exposure, where-as magnesium deficiency is extremely common. Just food for thought. As soon as I started magnesium supplementation, 70 percent of my symptoms disappeared. Like, literally, that day. It’s a bit hypocritical of me to say it, as I’ve done none of...
What is the effect of vitamin B12 and folic acid on blood cell maturation? What type of anemia results from the deficiency of these vitamins? What are common food sources of the B vitamins? What is the importance of vitamin K in the human ...
A deficiency of any of the micronutrients: folic acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, niacin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, iron, or zinc, mimics radiation in damaging DNA by causing single- and double-strand breaks, oxidative lesions, or both. For example, the percentage of the US population that has...
Congenital Cardiovascular Anomalies Induced by Pteroylglutamic Acid Deficiency during Gestation in the Rat Congenital cardiovascular anomalies were observed in the offspring when rats were placed on a dietary regimen deficient in pteroylglutamic ("folic") acid d...
