A member asked:
Should one take folic acid during periods also? or should it be avoided during periods?

Can take daily: As you may know, folic acid supplementation of 400 micrograms or 0.4 mg should be taken daily by women considering pregnancy. There is no need to stop it during the menstrual period.
