I read folic acid in large doses helps hirsutism. Dies anyone know how large a dose? I read different suggestions ranging from 5-50 mg. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmmm. I've never heard this!

By what method does it do this? Does it lower testosterone? (free or total) or inhibit dht production?

I've been taking quite a bit in my supps, but not as high as you mentioned. I guess I'm off to google!

Can you post where you got that info from? My interests are peaked!

okay, here's what I found.....

Vitamins for hirsutism

Tough to find any direct info on folic acid's effect on hormones though.

ya that's where I found the info too, a thread on here (just tried to link to it but I haven't made enough to posts yet to link to a dif. page haha...but the link you found in the right one anyway)


"I take 50 - 60 mg of folic acid every day -- around 20 800 mcg pills
three times a day, and sometimes four times. I take half a gram of PABA once a day -- I've recently upped this to half a gram twice a day, which seems to work even better. I change up the dosage of boron, but it's around 3 mg a day."

I tried to research it further but I couldn't find anything on it.

20 pills twice a day is so much, especially since i have a weak tummy, but maybe Ill try it!
