The POM juice for males post got me thinking.

What do you think about DH's taking Folic Acid Suppliments? My DH take a vitamin and I take a prenatal. Im wondering if we should both take folic acid suppliments...what do you guys think?

    I heard that folic acid is good for males when TTC. I may be wrong, but that is what I remember!

    Most MV for males have folic acid in them. Until more research comes out about the benefits (or risks) I would say that they amount in the MV would plenty.

    I know that there is some stuff out about this, but I don't think that it's definitive enough to add a folic acid supplement. I am a major MV pusher and DH takes a Centrum MV (he takes the cardio one because he has high cholesterol).  I also make sure that he eats a couple of salads a week with dark leaf veg. I figure this has him covered on folic acid. 

    Thanks Ladies!

    My DH too takes the Centrum MV and he def eats a lot of salads. He is probably fine. I just started to think when the POM question came up. Thanks =)
