Also, excessive intakes of vitamin C, so if taking a vitamin C supplement, increase your intake of Folic Acid accordingly. Folate SupplementsIt is perfectly possible to meet the daily folate/folic acid requirement by eating a diet of folate-rich foods, but some women may require as much as 3mg of daily supplements. Be aware, however, that experts disagree about the necessity of folate supplements for all pregnant women. Some doctors prescribe supplements primarily for pregnant women who are smokers, drug users, alcohol drinkers or strict vegetarians. Nutrition Resources About FolateRecommended
