folic acide intake

anything about too much folic acid is detrimental to developing brains?

Re: folic acide intake
How much folic acid is in your prenatal?
My dr told me anywhere between 1-2 mg is enough.
I don't think you can over due it.

Re: folic acide intake
all you need in a pregnancy is 400mcg
some PNV have 400mcg and some have 1mg
you can take your PNV then eat all you want. Now if you were taking a PNV, AND a folate supp, that would be even more that you are getting.

Re: folic acide intake
I take a prenatal and an additional 800mcg in Folic Acid. I have other health related reasons behind all my vitamin consumpation. My best advice would be to ask your Doc what would be best for you!
