Side effects of 10,000mcg of folate?

[PuZo]

If a dietary supplement had, among other things, 10,000mcg of folate, what would be some of the side effects of taking it consistently? I always "hear" the folate supplementation is risky to begin with. but 10,000.... just seems dangerously high?

Immediate effects I could think off the bat could be anxiety, panic attacks, possibly depression.

I guess my question/statement was more rhetorical, in that, unless I screwed up somewhere in my googling, 10,000 seems unnecessarily dangerous... It is a product for skin treatment, but regardless, I think my conclusion of "it is stupidly dangerous" is to be correct?

I highly doubt there would be any ill effects at that dose unless you lack the enzymes necessary to break down folic acid.

Increased risk of being able to impregnate your wife/girlfriend if you are trying to...
