No evidence for 5mg folic acid
My midwife said to me at my booking appointment that they're now advising people with BMI over 30 don't need to take the 5mg and can take the standard amount because studies show it makes no difference.
I have the 5mg prescribed anyway so may as well carry on taking it, was interested in looking into it though but can't seem to find any info on the change of advice?
Has anyone else been told the same/seen any information about it?
Thanks in advance!
