Professor (1,186)

1 mg (milligram) = 1000 mcg (micrograms)

So you are getting (400/1000) + 1mg = 1.4mg of folic acid

According to the US department of health, you should be getting 400mcg per day. Folic acide helps reduce the risk of brith defects. As you can see you are getting much more than the recommended amount which certainly won't cause any harm. I'm sure that your dr had a reason for you to be on a higher than recommended dose.

Here is a link to the US dept of health's site regarding folic acid:
