    More Information
    How much do I need
    Folate is a water-soluble vitamin, which means you need it in your diet every day because it cant be stored in the body.

    Most people should be able to get the amount they need by eating a varied and balanced diet. Adults need 0.2 mg a day.

    However, if you are pregnant or thinking of having a baby you should take a daily 0.4 mg 400 microgram folic acid supplement from the time you stop using contraception until the 12th week of pregnancy.

    This is to help prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida. If you have already had a pregnancy affected by a neural tube defect, a higher dose is recommended. Speak to your GP for more advice.

    What does it do
    Folate has a number of important functions. For example it
    • works together with vitamin B12 to form healthy red blood cells
    • helps reduce the risk of neural tube defects such as spina bifida in unborn babies

    What happens if I take too much
    If youre not getting enough vitamin B12 – known as vitamin B12 deficiency – taking doses of folic acid higher than 1 mg can hide this fact.

    An early symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency is anaemia. But taking large amounts of folic acid treats the anaemia without treating the B12 deficiency. If vitamin B12 deficiency isnt noticed, it can eventually lead to damage of the nervous system neurological damage.

    This is a concern particularly for older people, because as we get older it becomes more difficult to absorb vitamin B12.

    What is FSA advice
    Unless you are pregnant or thinking of having a baby, you should be able to get all the folate you need by eating a varied and balanced diet.
