Take 1 tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day. 

Contraindications

• B12 Deficiency / Pernicious Anemia: Do NOT take high-dose Folic Acid (such as 5mg) if you have an undiagnosed Vitamin B12 deficiency or pernicious anemia. While Folic Acid will successfully correct your low blood counts, it cannot fix the B12 deficiency. This creates a dangerous scenario where severe, irreversible nerve damage can continue progressing silently behind a normal blood test result.

Side Effects

• Common: At standard nutritional or prenatal doses, side effects are extremely rare. At very high therapeutic strengths, some individuals may experience mild nausea, abdominal bloating, a bitter taste in the mouth, or vivid dreams.
• Action: If mild stomach upset occurs, simply time your daily pill to be taken right after a main meal.

Precautions and Warnings

• The Periconception Timing Rule: For pregnancy protection, timing is everything. The neural tube closes within the first 28 days of pregnancy—often before a woman even realizes she has conceived. If you are actively trying to conceive or are of childbearing age, you should take a daily baseline dose of Folic Acid in advance to ensure your tissue levels are fully fortified from day one.
• Anti-Seizure Medication Interactions: Consult your doctor before starting if you take prescription anti-epileptic drugs (like Phenytoin, Phenobarbital, or Primidone). High doses of folic acid can accelerate the clearance of these drugs from your system, increasing the risk of breakthrough seizures.
