A member asked:
Is folic acid better absorbed as a separate supplement on its own or just as equally effective in b-complex form?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Either is fine: Depending on how much folic acid is needed you may need more than is usually found in a general supplement in that case a separate folic acid pill may be needed but absorption would be the same
