Puis-je prendre de l'acide folique et du magnésium ensemble ?

Pourquoi cela se produit

Folic acid (a B vitamin) and magnesium (a mineral) are absorbed and processed by the body through different pathways. They do not interfere with each other's effectiveness or increase the risk of side effects.

You can safely take folic acid and magnesium at the same time. No special precautions are needed.

Carence en vitamine B12 (Anémie pernicieuse)

L'acide folique peut masquer les symptômes d'une carence en vitamine B12. Si vous avez une carence en B12, prendre de l'acide folique seul peut permettre à des lésions nerveuses graves de progresser même si votre numération sanguine semble normale. Votre médecin doit s'assurer que vos niveaux de B12 sont vérifiés avant ou pendant le traitement.

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.

Alcool

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.

Produits laitiers

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.

Caffeine (Coffee and Tea)

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.
