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.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
