How much folic acid are you taking?

[Mojo]

my dr has prescribed me 5mg of folic acid, she said it's the new recommendation (used to be 1mg/1000mcg) is anyone else taking this much? now i don't want to take my multi-vitamin as it has 1mg which would be 6mg per day.

has anyone heard of this?

Yup. My GP prescribed 5mg of it for me too so you're not alone.
