What is the maximum limit for folic acid?

4 min read
According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) for folic acid in adults is 1,000 micrograms (mcg) per day. This maximum limit for folic acid applies to synthetic forms from fortified foods and supplements, not the naturally occurring folate found in whole foods. It's crucial to understand these guidelines to avoid potential health risks associated with excessive intake.
