2mg of Folic Acid daily is not too much for adults, under the guidance of a trained naturopath. Classic physicians do not respect nutrition enough, and frequently under-prescribe nutrients and supplements. I would not recommend using any supplement in excessive form without a certified nutritionist or naturopath.
