Patient's question:
How much folic acid is appropriate?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, folic acid is a nutrient that the human body also needs to consume on a daily basis, but the amount required may be higher during pregnancy. Therefore, as long as you don't take too much at once each day, it's fine to take it for several more months, and it is actually beneficial and harmless for women. Generally, it is recommended to start taking folic acid at least three months before pregnancy, and it is even better if you can start six months earlier. You can continue taking it throughout the pregnancy and while breastfeeding, although the dosage requirements may differ.During the period of three months before pregnancy to three months after pregnancy, it is appropriate to supplement with folic acid.
Suggestions: If you choose to supplement with folic acid before and during pregnancy, you should opt for a dosage of 0.4mg. This is an extremely small dose and has no adverse effects on the body when used for a long time. Please don't worry.
