Any Ideas For gluten-free Folic Acid?

I am in search of folic acid. I currently have Rainbow Light prenatals that are gluten-free, but I wanted a single vitamin to take that was just folic acid on the days when I don't take the prenatal. I am not pregnant as of yet but wanted to see what you all would recommend.

Thanks!

Besides "beans and greens", as my nutritionist puts it, you might try "Pure Encapsulations" B12 Folic, which has a wee bit of Vitamin C, folic acid, and B12 as methylcobalamin, which is easier to absorb than cyanocobalamin (and which doesn't have a cyanide molecue your liver will have to dispose of). It has LOTS of B12. I also have taken "ActiFolate" by Metagenics.

It does not have B12.

Both have 200% the RDA for folate.

Take care. Good luck.

Nature Made products are all gluten-free and I am currently taking a folic acid supplement (with my prenatals). I buy them at Costco, however, if you go onto their website (www.naturemade.com) they have a list of retailers that sell them. They are very inexpensive and if you purchase enough of their products, you earn rewards.

The ones I take have 400 mcg or 100% daily value. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, chemical solvents, yeast, starch, or gluten. WORRY FREE!!

I understand the recommended daily allowance for pregnant women is 800mcg.

Actually the recommended daily allowance for pregnant woman is 1,000 mcg. But since I take a prenatal it takes me well over what I need. But she is not pregnant yet, so she can take a lower dose than what is needed until she becomes pregnant. Actually, just the prenatal would be more than enough for her in this case.

The "100% of daily value" came from the bottle.

Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks guys!

I have seen the Nature Made products and was unaware that they were gluten-free!

I appreciate your input.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
