Detailed Analysis
Taking folate and vitamin C together does not appear to cause any significant interactions. Some studies suggest that vitamin C may affect the measurement of red blood cell folate, but this does not seem to have any practical implications for most people. Overall, no special precautions are needed when taking these two supplements together. The acidification provided by ascorbic acid (vitamin C) can affect the measurement of red blood cell folates by influencing the activity of enzymes involved in folate metabolism. However, this does not seem to have a significant impact on the actual levels of folate in the body. Some research has suggested possible interactions between folic acid and ascorbic acid, but the evidence is not conclusive.
