How much is too much folic acid?

Question

Just wondering if there is any way you can take too much folic acid when ttc? I've been taking the Kirkland prenatal vitamins and they have 1000 mg of it but just wondering if I should be supplementing with more to increase my chances more?

Answer

Thank you! Never was one for remembering to take a daily multi vitamin but obviously I've had to change my ways and the thought or trying to remember to take even more pills ...ugg

Answer

You CAN take too much folic acid. (Can't have too much folate-- they're different forms.) 1000 is plenty, don't take any more.

Answer

My Doctor told me there is no such thing as too much folic acid. I asked the same questuon.

Answer

15g are considered an overdose according to an article I read. With 1000mg you are at 1g. So, you're fine.
