Reply To: FOLATE intake on prenatal multivitamin

[Ryann Kipping]

Hey! Good question, you can get too much folic acid, as explained in the note on folate! I always recommend a prenatal that has folate not folic acid because you are likely consuming foods fortified with folic acid as well. In my professional experience, most of my clients are under-consuming folate. You won’t overdo it by eating more leafy greens, avocados, citrus fruits, etc., things high in FOLATE. So, bottom line, if you are supplementing with folate and focusing on high folate (not folic acid) foods then you will be totally fine!
