Luna Bars and Pre-natal vitamins

Lisa2742 · October 2015

Hi all,

I am in my first trimester (5 weeks) and have been taking pre-natals vitamins with 800 mcg of Folic Acid. I bought some Luna bars as a mid-morning snack to keep at work. These claim to have Folic Acid but the box does not say how much each bar contains.

My question is: Is is safe to keep taking 800mcg of Folic Acid and also have one of these Luna Bars when I start to get hungry in the morning before lunch?

Thanks in advance!

Yes

Folic acid is water soluble. If you take too much your body is able to excrete it. Don't worry, have your Luna bar.

Yes. Today I had a prenatal vitamin and a huge helping of kale salad at lunch, in addition to a boat-load of steamed collard greens for dinner last night. OD'ing on folic acid never occurred to me

I just genuinely love my leafy greens! Luna bars are yummy too. I eat them for breakfast sometimes.
