Posso tomar Ácido Fólico e Magnésio juntos?

Por que isso acontece

O ácido fólico (uma vitamina B) e o magnésio (um mineral) são absorvidos e processados pelo corpo através de diferentes vias. Eles não interferem na eficácia um do outro nem aumentam o risco de efeitos colaterais.

Você pode tomar ácido fólico e magnésio ao mesmo tempo com segurança. Não são necessárias precauções especiais.

Deficiência de Vitamina B12 (Anemia Perniciosa)

Folic acid can mask the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency. If you have B12 deficiency, taking folic acid alone can allow serious nerve damage to progress even though your blood count appears normal. Your doctor must ensure your B12 levels are checked before or during treatment.

Severe kidney disease (renal impairment)

If your kidneys are not working properly, magnesium can build up to toxic levels in your blood, which can lead to serious heart and breathing problems. Do not take magnesium supplements unless specifically monitored by your doctor.

Álcool

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking folic acid. Alcohol interferes with the way your body absorbs and uses folic acid, which can make the treatment less effective. Chronic alcohol consumption is a common cause of folate deficiency.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking magnesium supplements. Alcohol increases the amount of magnesium your body gets rid of through urine, which can make the supplement less effective. Additionally, both alcohol and high doses of magnesium can have a laxative effect, increasing the risk of stomach upset.

Produtos lácteos

Dairy products are high in calcium. Large amounts of calcium can interfere with how your body absorbs magnesium. If you are taking a high-dose magnesium supplement, try to take it at least 2 hours apart from eating large amounts of dairy or taking calcium supplements.

Cafeína (Café e Chá)

Caffeine can have a mild diuretic effect, which may increase the loss of magnesium through your urine. If you consume high amounts of caffeine, it may reduce the effectiveness of your supplement.
