Postmenopausal women can take folic acid to help prevent diseases such as breast cancer, cervical cancer, and Alzheimer's disease. Taking folic acid supplements is highly beneficial for women's health. However, it is advisable for women during menopause to first undergo a medical check-up at the hospital. In the absence of other medical conditions, they can determine the daily dosage and frequency of folic acid intake according to their doctor's recommendations.
