Default Folic Acid

Hi all

I know you find folic acid in certain pills but i would like to start taking a supplement again because it helped me a lot. Is it safe to take a folic acid pill all the time and how much should be in the dosage?

Folic acid supplements are really only for women intending to become pregnant. Otherwise, if you have a balanced diet with plenty of leafy vegetables and fortified cereals then you don't need to take it.

Look it up on wikipedia, there is a lot of good information there on folic acid.
