A member asked:
Is 800 mcg of folic acid too high of an amount in a prenatal vitamin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is probably fine. We tell women they should have 600 to 800 mg avoid acid per day during pregnancy. There is probably no benefit to getting more than 1000 mg per day. Side effects are unusual, however. Good luck.
