I used this product for quite awhile before I learned I wasn't doing myself any favors by taking it by itself. Folic Acid is water-soluble Vitamin B9 and Folacin.
If you supplement with a B vitamin you will cause deficiencies in other B vitamins in your system. Since it's all about balance, it is best to either take a B-Complex instead or take one along with the Folic Acid.

I used the GNC Folic Acid for all three of my pregnancies and also during the period of trying to conceive. It was an easy way to help my body and my baby get the recommended amount of folic acid. I did not have any side effects or aftertaste with these supplements.
