Hi Girls
Folate tablets range from 800mcg for Elevit down to 300mcg for Fefol. Each one recomends 1 tablet per day. I think that the variation in dose could be due to the possable side effects which are dark stools, nausia and vomiting, (like you need more of that), and diarrhoea. Thankfully these side effects are uncommon. For anyine taking Fefol, which is folate and iron you should not take more than 1 tablet a day without medical advice as you could go into iron overload.

I hope this helps a little.
