I think the FDA classifies this as a food don't they ?
I don't know. I think it may depend on the dose.
That should be obvious.
Folic acid is found in
beans and legumes
citrus fruits and juices
wheat bran and other whole grains
dark green leafy vegetables
liver
The last I heard none of the above are "drugs."
The medical Industry wants to take over anything that is admitted to help a disease.
The word "drug" in the headline is a red flag telling me they are in the process of attempting that.
I read a similar article years ago where they tried the same thing with niacin, another member of the B-Complex group which causes the blood to circulate faster and is good for people past a certain age.
That article on niacin tried to call it a "drug," which it is not.
