Instead of folic acid it is recommended to take methltetrahdrofolate when trying to concieve to prevent neural tube defects in baby Routine fortifications may not be beneficial as folates to be supplemented along with vitamin B 12 because if not administered together a vitamin B12 deficiency mediated nerve damage may be unmasked and this may lead to irreversible nerve damage. Elderly are most at risk as uptake of vitamin B12 from diet reduces with age. Those over 50 are advised not to take folic acid supplements containing more than 200μg/day. For others, long-term intakes of folic acid from fortified foods and supplements should be below 1mg/day for adults (lower amounts for children).
