Nutrient-Nutrient Interactions
Some concern exists that
supplementation
with high doses of folic acid
could mask a vitamin
B12 deficiency, resulting in
neurological injury secondary
to undiagnosed pernicious anemia.
If there is
any possibility of B12-induced
anemia in an individual
needing folate therapy, dual
therapy with B12 and
folate should be administered.
Some authors have suggested folic
acid supplements
might interfere with intestinal
zinc absorption;
however, doses as high as 15 mg
folic acid daily
do not appear to have any
significant effect on zinc
status in healthy, non-pregnant subjects(blm selesai)
