High-dose folic acid and DNA formation in healthy adults
Treatments studied
This study tests whether taking high-dose folic acid (a type of B vitamin) affects how your body makes DNA. It may help scientists understand how folic acid influences cell health, which could be important for preventing certain diseases.
