Folic acid supplements have two main safety considerations.

• Taking more than 1mg (1,000mcg) of folic acid a day may mask the symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, which can lead to nerve damage if it isn't detected and treated - speak to a healthcare practitioner before taking more than two tablets a day.
• Food supplements should not be used instead of a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
