I take a multi vitamin every day which contains folic acid.  I also take  separate dose of folic acid.  What is the appropriate daily intake of folic acid?  Is it possible to take too much?




Usually it is recommended not to take in more than 400mg daily, especially when pregnant.




I think the recommendation is 800 mcg daily during pregnancy, and 400 mcg daily during the time you are fertile.
