Folic acid, or folate, is a B vitamin that must be derived from either dietary sources or via supplementation.* Folate is necessary for a biochemical process in the body called "methylation" or "one-carbon metabolism".* This process does not work adequately in a significant number of individuals who have a genetic polymorphism, and it may contribute to a host of different concerns, including neural tube defects, depression, and reduction in red blood cell production.* When the body absorbs folate, it goes through a series of biochemical conversions to become the active form l‑5‑methyltetrahydrofolate.* If an individual is unable to convert the folate properly, they can end up with a deficiency, even though they are eating foods containing folate.* Folate is found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, beans, liver, yeast, and citrus fruits.*
