I am no longer of childbearing age. how much folic acid do i need now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
400 micrograms in mo: 400 micrograms daily is the recommended amount.. An unrestricted balanced diet provides this without supplementation in most cases. If you areon certain meds eg Methotrexate or have a restricted diet eg vegan / allergies this may not apply to you.
