Trends in serum folate after food fortification.

Lawrence JM, Petitti DB, Watkins M, Umekubo MA.

Abstract

From 1994 to 1998, median serum folate values in clinical specimens increased from 12.6 to 18.7 microg/L. The percentage of low values decreased. Food fortification with folic acid is a likely explanation.
