Haha, of course! Does it taste nice with the salt? I can't imagine salt with chocolate!

[TTC5]

Well because I am salting everything I am kinda used to it now it gives it a different twist but hey it is chocolate

Folic Acid each tab contains 5mg - i take 3 a day. Here they are: http://www.pharmacydirect.com.au/pro...?invpid=002537

Just wondering why you take 3 tabs per day? So 15,000 mcg a day right? That seems like way too much?

Your body will pee out any it does not need so you can't overdose. I told the pharmacist I need to take 4,000mcg a day. to begin with, I was taking the 0.5mg (equal to 500mcg) but taking 8 a day and was needing to pay more as I ran out faster. My pharmacist said the 5mg is equal to 5,000mcg but given that we pee out what we do not need at the time, that it is better to space our supps out during the day for best absorption and the urals and green tea depletes our folic acid levels and how important it is I decided to take 1 at each big meal a day. I worry of spinal tube defects with so much ural and green tea.. better to be safe I guess and the folic acid does not hurt.
Hope that made sense, lol.

[TTC5]

Oh and more often I only take 1-2 a day anyway unless I remember and have had more ural that day. Maybe one is enough I am not sure but I worry if I take one, and my body only takes what it needs at that time and later in the day given the urals etc and I am getting depleted??

Yep, it makes sense. I thought you must have been being overly cautious but just wanted to check I won't even drink green tea because I am worried about it affecting folic acid absorption. I have been googling supps like crazy and I read that if you have a known B12 deficiency then too much folic acid can be dangerous as it can cause nerve damage (rare though). I'm sure someone would know if they had a deficiency anyway.

Yeah I would take at least two spaced out as well. But I doubt the body would deplete the whole 5mg dose? Better to be safe than sorry I suppose.
