No, it's a great question. Folate is fine to take in higher amounts, no worries at all.

Folic acid, on the other hand, most people can take higher doses no worries but anyone with MTHFR mutation can't because their body can't use it properly and it adds up and can become toxic. Most people just pee out whatever their body doesn't use and many people like myself who do have a child with NTD actually are prescribed 4000-5000 mcg (which I took with my last two children - no NTD and both very healthy and bright.) As long as no MTHFR, fine to take folic acid, if you have any concern in that area then do folate (it's just soo expensive that some people cannot afford it, otherwise I'd have everyone take it.)
