A member asked:
What happen if a pregnant woman take expired folic acid? what happen for the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: As long as the Folic Acid was stored properly (no excessive heat, no humidity) it will retain its potency for many years. The pregnant woman in question will not be harmed nor her developing baby.
