Is 1mg of folic acid good to take.?? or is that too much? |
I heard if you're trying to get pregnant you should take 0.4mg of folic acid..but the drugstore only had 1mg is that still ok?? or too much?? and will it cause any harm??? Folic acid, or folacin, is a coenzyme needed for forming body protein and hemoglobin. Recent investigations show that folic acid deficiency may be responsible for neural tube defects, a type of birth defect that results in severe brain or neurological disorders. The U.S. Public Health Service recommends that women of child-bearing age take 0.4 mg of folic acid daily. However during pregnancy it's dose must be raised upto 1.5 mg. Over dosage is OK for pregnant women. Women should continue to take that dose through the first three months of pregnancy. After it the dose may be reduced to 1.0 mg daily. Folic acid is effective in the treatment of certain anemias and sprue. Dietary sources are organ meats, leafy green vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, and brewer's yeast. Folic acid is lost in foods stored at room temperature and during cooking. Unlike other water-soluble vitamins, folic acid is stored in the liver and need not be consumed daily. Too Much. i never heard about using that to get pregnant |
