Can pregnant women drink tea while taking folic acid?

Many friends still don’t know what folic acid is. In fact, folic acid is a kind of vitamin. Many pregnant friends can take it, mainly to help pregnant mothers with anemia. Generally, friends who take folic acid need to be careful about drinking tea, and try not to drink tea or drink light tea.

Can I drink tea while taking folic acid?

1. You can drink tea during pregnancy, but try to drink light tea. Strong tea contains substances that stimulate the nerves and has a more obvious effect in refreshing the mind. To avoid getting infected with colds, you should pay attention to proper exercise during pregnancy and eat light food. Strong tea may affect the efficacy of folic acid. Eat more vegetables and fruits, have a good nutritional balance, and improve your sleep quality. Eating some lactic acid in early pregnancy can effectively prevent fetal malformation or miscarriage. It is more important to eat nutritious and healthy food and don't be stressed.

2. As for the best time to take folic acid tablets every day, there is no special regulation. Just make sure to take it once a day. There is no need to be too rigid or set a time limit. Just take one type of folic acid. Because taking folic acid tablets is actually a vitamin supplement. Only one tablet a day, 0.4 mg, is enough. Taking it at any time will not affect the final digestion and absorption.

3. It is worth mentioning that women should take folic acid under the guidance of a doctor. Each tablet of folic acid supplement contains only 0.4 mg of folic acid, and it is the only preventive drug approved by the state (the trade name is "Silian"). There is a kind of "folic acid tablet" on the market for treating anemia. Each tablet contains 5 mg of folic acid, which is equivalent to 12.5 times that of "Silian" tablets. Pregnant women should avoid taking such large doses of folic acid tablets in the early stages of pregnancy, because long-term large-dose use of folic acid tablets will have adverse effects on pregnant women and fetuses. Therefore, pregnant women are reminded to follow the guidance of doctors and health care personnel and avoid taking or buying medicine indiscriminately.
