Hi,
I`ve started taking folic acid as I´m hoping to conceive over the next few months. Here in Brazil, the recommended dosage of folic acid is 5mg and in fact they don´t sell the UK guideline dosage of 400mcg. I read that in the UK, only women at higher risk are given 5mg and it has to be prescribed by a doctor. I´m trying to figure out whether it is better to take this higher dosage or not to take any at all! I´ll be back in the UK in December so I can get my hands on the lower dosage then, but I had wanted to start taking it asap in preparation.
Cheers,
