| Dear Gnome Bezerker
Folate is a natural vitamin that should come from our foods. The recommended levels needed per day is between 300-400 micro grammes ( a good balenced diet should cover it). There has been no evidence that large amounts cause problems. You probably only need to take it if your doctor recommends it (ie you are folate deficient, trying to get pregnant (has helped reducing spina bifida), on rheumatic drug of methotrexate etc). Generally as it is a vitamin it is okay to take with most things but always check with your doctor first. Hope this helps. |
