hi hi, im jz wondering if we can take folic acid daily evntho' we r hvin our period?? OR cn only consume them wen AF cleared.. Pls advice guys.. TIA..
You should take folic acid everyday... irregardless of whether hving AF or not. Folic acid is like a supplement so it's ok to take.

Hihi, can u tell m e what is 'AF'? I saw this term many times but have no idea what does it mean.
Yes, I believe we can take folic acid even when we have our period as folic acid is not something that increases blood circulation. And we would not want that during pur period as that will cause more discharge.

HAHA!!! AUNTIE FLOW!!! What a cute way to describe! normal dosage is 5mg per day.. dun have to take too much.. 5mg is enough.. if i'm not wrong, normally tt small tiny tablet is alrdy 5mg.. it's writen on the box or sth =)
Ya, u only nid to take 5mg, like regina say. Each tablet is already 5mg... so dun take too much. Sometimes, too much is no good. Usually, the clinic will advise to take folic acid in the morning.

looking at the GNC ultra folic acid GNC ~ Helping You Live Your Best Life - GNC Women's Ultra Mega® i tink the normal folic acid tt we cn prescribe frm the pharmacy has slightly higher dosage of the folic acid cz the ones in GNC has 400mcg = 0.4mg whreas the one the norm has 5mg.. better nt waste money n jz eat the ones precribe by my gynae=D
I went to GNC today and was given very good advice by the experts there..
The folic acid they have is 800mcg. And about the ultra primrose it actually doesnt enhance the chance of getting pregnant it helps to moist our skin and internal body.
The expert recommended me Prenatal Formula ($47.95). She said its good for woman who's trying to conceive and already conceived. It has Vitamin A, C, D, E and B6. It also contains 800mcg of folic acid, thiamin, roboflavin, niacin, biotin, iron and zinc.
She told me its very popular among those woman who's trying to conceive and its very sellable. It has 120tablets and to be taken one tablet twice a day.
Today is my 1st day of AF and at the same time i'm taking it for the 1st time...so hopefully this will be my last AF:tlaugh: Why don't you gals try it too... It's only supplement..No worries:wong19:

From what i know (correct me if i'm wrong) Folic Acid plays a part for TTC too. Yes it helps to prevent birth defects but it does help to conceive too. Thats the reason why once you've conceive they will prescribe you with Obimin instead of continuing Folic Acid. Actually we would need more than Folic Acid for example proper vitamins and minerals especially Iron and Zinc.
