What is Folic acid (folate)?

Folic acid is a type of B vitamin. It is water-soluble, which means it cannot be stored in the body. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water. Leftover amounts of the vitamin leave the body through the urine. That means you need a continuous supply of the vitamin in your diet.

Alternative Names:

Vitamin B9; Folate; Diet - folic acid; Pteroylglutamic acid
