Timing of Folic acid?

[mumofSlytherinsmonsters]

Are you suposed to take folic acid at the same time every day? or does it not matter really? and is tehre an optimum time to take it?

Don't think it matters. Just take it each day. I took it at night.

I take mine at the same time every day - when I remember

Seriously though - I don't think it matters too much. You probably get plenty of folic acid from your diet this is just a supplement - just in case.

wouldn't worry. My plan is to try and take it in the morning then if you forget you the rest of the day to remember.

am worrying about every tiny thing with thos pg and am only a few weeks lol! depseratly want it to "stick" and was panicing about the folic acid thing (it will be something different tomorrow lol)

I prob dn't get that much from my diet either

You might be better off improving your diet than worrying about when to take your folic acid in that case or are you suffering with morning sickness?

Sorry about stating that twice was supposed to be a friendly comment not a lecture

don't think it matters ... but I did with breakfast (similar thinking to laliasmum) - and on the assumption that some vits are absorbed better if other things around them, iykwim. No idea if that's true for folic acid, btw

no sickness yet just nausea. slipped down the ED route again (lomg story)so for now i am concentrating on eating 3 meals a day and keeping them down.

As long as you eat them with a meal then I don't think it matters at all.
