This product contains 1 mg folic acid, the maximum safe Reference Daily Intake (RDI) amount for this nutrient. Folic Acid alone should not be used for individuals with pernicious anemia and other megaloblastic anemias where vitamin B-12 is deficient. Folic acid in amounts above 0.1 mg daily may obscure pernicious anemia in that hematologic remission can occur while neurological manifestations progress.

Ingestion of more than 3 grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) has been shown to have potential anti-thrombotic effects, including increased bleeding times. Adminitration of Folet One should be avoided in patients taking anticoagulants.

Allergic sensitization has been reported following both oral and parenteral adminitration of folic acid.
