Important Safety Information: Folic Acid is generally considered safe for most healthy adults at recommended doses. However, high doses (above 1 mg daily) should only be taken under medical supervision. It may mask symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency if taken in excess. Possible mild side effects include digestive discomfort or sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals. Always consult your healthcare provider before use if you have epilepsy, are on anticonvulsant medication, have a history of B12 deficiency, or are pregnant/breastfeeding. Do not exceed the recommended dose on the label.
