I am trying to conceive in the next couple of months. A freind of mine who just got pregnant told me that her doctor advised her to take about 800 mcg of folic acid even before she became pregnant. Is it really safe to take such a high dosage?

Your friend has certainly given you the right advice as per her doctor's instructions. Most doctors recommend this for women who want to conceive with a safe delivery. You might consult a gynecologist to find out the folic acid supplement that is right for you.
