Too Much Folic Acid

Jennbj - November 28

Is it possible to have too much folic acid? I am taking a prenatel vitamin and an additional folic acid pill and we are trying to get pregnant. I know a lot of folic acid is good but is it possible to have too much? I have had 2 mcs this year so I want things to go well this time around.

I don't know for sure, but I recall reading somewhere that you don't want to exceed a certain amount per day. I would take your prenatal vitamins and focus on getting the rest from a healthy diet. Usually the prenatal vitamins have more than enough folic acid in them.

My Dr. said 2 mg a day is ok
