Guest guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 This site deals with folic acidhttp://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/folic-acid.htm The section on research is completely MISSING. Perhaps there is NONE?But in Europe the folic acid PILLS contains 5 000 mcgWhile in USA they are largely limited to 400 mcgDid someone get the decimal point in the wrong place in Europe!My coincidence of disaster from folic acid was in Europe.In Europe it seems to match USA you need not half or quarter but more than 12 TIMES LESS of this man-made product from BACTERIA.In short are our experts on FOLIC ACID very EXPERT or just EXPURT?

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 So are you saying you have had adverse reactions, from taking high dose Folic Acid? Interesting why Europe would be dosing Folic acid in such a high dose, if there is some clear reason why? Curious if over dosing of Folic acid, is just excreted after the body takes what it needs? http://www.drugs.com/pro/folic-acid.html .. An oral dose of 5 mg in 1 study and a dose of 40 mcg/kg of body weight in another study resulted in approximately 50% of the dose appearing in the urine. After a single oral dose of 15 mg, up to 90% of the dose was recovered in the urine. A majority of the metabolic products appeared in the urine after 6 hours; excretion was generally complete within 24 hours. Small amounts of orally administered Folic Acid have also been recovered in the feces. Folic Acid is also excreted in the milk of lactating mothers. > > This site deals with folic acid > > http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/folic-acid.htm > > > The section on research is completely MISSING.
