are all folic acid tablets huge??

divadexie · Dec 16th, 2009, 18:57 PM

I haven't had mine for 2 days because the tablets are so big they make me sick!
They are the pink sanatogen ones, my oh says they look like horse tranquilizers! Lol!
I just bought them from wilkinsons do you think the MW can prescribe me some smaller ones??

Mine are not huge, they are made by trophic and are in the vitamin section of my health food store. But they are dusty, which I hate. I found a nice small, capsule version, but they were 5 times the price.

No they are not all big. Mine were tiny. You are taking a prenatal, not FA by itself

Lol yes I meant prenatal hehe just always called tham FA.

Boots have a prenatal vitamin thats kind of plasticy, and squidgy. Goes down well because of the coating, (If you have a mouth full of liquid lol) If you cant take big tablets though just get some folic acid on its own, they are small.

i cant swallow tablets at all (only ones as small as the pill) so i get a liquid form called folicare and it actually doesnt taste too bad!
