Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 hi chris.. my daughter has a deficiency in folic acid so from reading up on it its safe to take 10mg daily if you are deficient but if you just want to make sure your not missing out folic acid i would suggest 5mg daily love aby --- chaceeagle wrote: --------------------------------- Anyone know if there is any harm in taking extra folic acid and B12?

Mine does, and says it's 100% of the RDA. (IIRC pregnant women take up to double.) This seems like an awful lot.
