ANS: D
Symptoms of folic acid deficiency usually are not noted until 2 to 4 months after folic acid storage is depleted. Synthetic folate is more stable than food folate with greater bioavailability. Megadoses are not recommended. One-third of folic acid is stored in the liver with the rest stored in tissues.
