folic acid/metanx
Hi girls...does anyone take more than the recommened amount of folic acid? If so, did it make you sick? or are you ok?
Anyone also taking metanx?
i am not prego yet but due to me having the mthfr gene mutations (2copies) my doc suggested i take 2mgs on top of my prenatal - citranatal assure dha...(which has 1mg) He also suggested i take metanx instead of the folic when we decide we are ready to ttc - so the extra folic acid is what i am to take for now....
i am also taking vit d as well as a baby asprin for now....

Re: folic acid/metanx
I have MTHFR issues and just started on Metanx again last night. So far, so good! So I'm on a prenatal with DHA and the Metanx.

Re: folic acid/metanx
I'm on a version of metanx and it definitely bothered my stomach in the beginning.. After about a month I got used to it. Good luck!
