Is 1000mcg Folic Acid daily intake okay for pregnant women?

Question

I just got this GNC prenatal and I read that it has 1000mcg of Folic Acid per two tablets. I’m just wondering if it is a good amount? How much are you all taking? Btw, I’m going 8 weeks. Thanks!

Answer

I highly recommend you search the topic of folic acid even within this app and read about the harm it causes. This is not a question or an idea or theory, this is fact. Saying this is not to scare you, it’s to empower you to diligently research and use discernment when making choices for your health.

Answer

Folic acid is NOT good for you at all! It’s a synthetic form of folate. You must take prenatals with folate and avoid folic acid like the plague. Also, if you have a really healthy diet prenatals are not necessary, it’s just the supplement industry pushing them. But, that’s up to you and your doctor to decided based on your diet and lifestyle.
