Folic acid is needed for proper nerve function. It helps with the blood brain barrier. The studies are of people taking high doses of folic acid. (800 mcgs or more daily) The common dose is 400 mcgs

Try telling women who are trying to get pregnant to not take folic acid. Taking it is the best way to reduce risk of neuro defects in infants.
