I am taking over the counter prenatal vitamins. Does anyone have any suggestions with what type of over the counter Folic Acid Brand I should take?

If you are already taking prenatal vitamins, which usually have the RDI (400 micrograms) of folic acid in them, then you should be getting enough folic acid not to need another supplement

My doc recommended taking prenatal vitamins with 800 mcg of folic acid.

I have to take lots of folic acid because I'm high risk, and my doctor says folic acid is folic acid is folic acid. I take one prenatal vitamin and three 1-mg tablets of Walgreen's brand folic acid.
