Hi gals,

I've been taking Pregnacare for a month or so. I've now started eating healthily and taking new supplements in the form of two nutrition bars a day (instead of Pregnacare). Combined they provide about 250mcgms of folic acid. I have bought a bottle of folic acid tablets that are 400mcgms (couldn't find a smaller dosage) to supplement the bars to make sure I'm getting enough but obviously this is now higher than the recommended 400mcgms for women TTC - does anyone know if this is ok?

I've been told that Folic acid is just like vitamin c, you can't overdose on it, any excess your body doesn't require is just expelled in your wee.

Hope that helps
