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.
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.Quote:

Yep I always take one in the morning with brekkie and then I have the others at either lunch or dinner, or one at both. I am now having a lot of ural as my attempt is next week, I am so paranoid of not getting enough folic acid!Quote:

15,000 IS too much. I believe she's taking 1500 mcg. the MG is a typo.Quote:

I figure, if you take several smaller doses throughout the day, that way you ensure your body has a constant supply.Quote:

Yes it was 5mg tabs .. my pharmacist told me to take them as it is equal to 5,000mcg and I was aiming for 4,000mcg, but didnt want to take multiple tabs a day. A few times I took a few more tabs cos I was so worried that when I added in urals and bs and green tea I may get depleted. Gosh, have I done something wrong taking this much? Now I am worried I have and may be risking doing damage ughhhh :(
Found this
NOTE: Be aware of the different ways folic acid dosages can be written. The term 'ug' is short for 'micrograms' and the term 'mg' is short for 'milligrams'. Therefore, 1000 micrograms = 1 milligram, 400 micrograms = 0.4 milligrams, 5,000 micrograms = 5 milligrams. This is important, because some women may be advised to have higher doses of folic acid, depending on their circumstances, and dosages over 1,000 micrograms (or 1 milligram) need to be taken under medical supervision.
So I was taking 5,000micrograms (5milligrams). I did a few times take an extra tablet or 2 when I upped green tea/bs or ural. All I can find on taking too much FA is it may cause nerve damage ... hopefully I am ok :(
That's all I could find as well, that it can cause nerve damage. But the reading says that it can causes damage if you have a B12 deficiency. And you don't so I wouldn't worry. And as Atomic said, it is really very rare.
Yes I was taking B vitamins so hopefully it is all good!
