Except that Vitamin D and Folic Acid are known to be atagonistic.

So, if you dose too much Vitamin D, it decreases Folic Acid and places your baby at risk of birth defects.

As always, these things are a balance.

Too much D lowers folic acid.

This paper says sun (ultraviolet rays) exposure Lowers folate not vitamin D

> Vitamin D and folate are two unrelated nutrients with disparate sensitivities to UVR; vitamin D is synthesised and folate is degraded in the skin following UVR exposure.
