A member asked:

First trimester pregnancy i am taking 5mg asid folic + amway calcium + amway iron folic. will my asid folic overdose? should i stop either one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Too much. Only 1mg is needed with normal healthy food. Amway is not a reliable brand to hang your hat on.
