Just checked my Elevit box, and it has 800mcg of Folic Acid per tablet (and you only take one per day).

So a P&B + a straight Folate is 900mcg - only 100mcg more.
Well that's interesting! I guess there is no harm in me taking both the Folate and just one of the P&B to give me a total of 700mcg a day. Then once I've finished my Folate only tablets I'll take 2 P&B per day which is 400mcg. I think 400mcg per day will be fine in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.

My naturopath told me that she prescribes up to 1,200mcg per day for some of her patients.

I just got worried when I saw on the label of the Blackmores bottle not to exceed the daily intake of folate. I didn't know whether to believe that or my naturopath!
