Posted on Wed, 22 Jun 2016

Question: Hi, and thanks. Is Deplin absorption helped when taken with food? Does drinking coffee with the medidation tend to neutralize it's effectiveness?? Thanks !

Also, I read several years ago, (forgot the source) that Folic Acid affected PSA levels. Are there any studies regarding this relationship? Thanks !

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Deplin absorption is not significantly altered by taking it with food.

Coffee also does not decrease its effect.

Regarding PSA and folate, I am posting a link of the study regarding their relationship in pubmed which is an authentic source.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/0000

This study shows that higher folate status can be protective against elevated PSA in men without diagnosed prostate cancer.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
