Re: Folic acid

Not looking at my prescription, but I was referred to a rheumatologist for joint pain issues in my wrist. So after lots of testing I was prescribed folic acid (because my levels were low - don’t know if that has anything to do with the wrist pain - she didn’t say) and hydroxychloroquine.
I guess I need to look at the specific type of folic acid I was given.

There are many foods with folic acid. Here are some. Hmm, didn’t know the difference between Folic Acid and Folate. I’ll post links. It’s very easy to eat foods with Folate/Folic acid and not have to use supplements.

Folate vs. Folic Acid
Folate is a term for a group of naturally occurring b-vitamins, also known as B9. Generally speaking, folic acid is the synthetic form of folate used in supplements and in fortified/enriched foods to help meet the recommended daily amount.
