folic acid

How much folic acid is enough on a daily basis, I noticed clinic always prescribe 5mg folic acid to be taken daily, however, I read 400mcg is good enough.

More folic acid will be required during pregnancy, at least 5mg, max 6mg. Generally, your gynae will prescribe you with the 5mg one. It's sufficient. Just take note that many prenatal multi vitamins actually contains folic acid. Hence, you might want to check the list for the dosage. Don't take redundant dosage.
