Are You Taking This Fake B Vitamin? | Dr. Janine
Dr. Janine asks – are you taking this fake B vitamin? She is referring to folic acid which doesn’t exist in nature. The natural form is folate and folate is vitamin B9. Folic acid is found in vitamins and fortified foods like almond milk, baked goods, and cereals. Dr. Janine explains that consuming folic acid can cause stomach cramps, diarrhea, insomnia, and even nausea. Dr. Janine recommends including more folate-rich foods like eggs, lentils, edamame, avocados, or nuts and seeds. She also likes to get her folate from chlorella, a blue-green algae.
