Folic Acid Posted: 11-19-04 12:45pm
If I buy folic acid at my local duane
reade store is it the same as what the
doctor would give me.... Will it harm me
if I buy it from the store rather then the
doctor..

What your doctor will give you are
prenatal vitamins.. Which includes folic
acid.. But you can always take folic acid
from the store, it wont' do you any
harm.
Folic acid is a water soluable vitamin,
which means, even if you take both
prenatal vit that contain folic acid and a
separate pill that's only folic acid, if
your body only needs 400mg of folic, than
that's all your body will absorb, the rest
will be discarded in your urine.
