Can you take too much Folic Acid?

[louielly]

Hi, the title says it really. I'm off to Spain on Saturday and will be well into my 2WW (I'm actually due my AF while I'm out there)

I've read that the sun depletes you of Folic Acid. So should I double my daily dose or just stick to the one tablet a day? If I am preggers , I don't want to harm the little bean either way... x

I have no idea hun, maybe just stick to the one tablet a day xx

Stick to following the directions on the bottle hun. Never take more than directed.
You also get folic acid from some of the food you eat, I'm sure you'l be fine.

It was only the other day i was being lectured about the harmful impact of taking too many supplements.

Basically, everything in moderation.

There is a reason that they limit the recommended dosage and it is unwise to go over those amounts.

I am not aware of folic acid being reduced by sunlight, but if that is the case and you are that concerned - maybe just stay out of the sun

get eating some vegetables instead of doubling the tablets. we seem to forget about that very often...

have fun on your vacation
