Folate/folic acid
Folate is the natural form of this vitamin B9, while folic acid [6] is the synthetic form. This is one very important vitamin that is often added to foods and snacks because of its numerous health benefits. Folic acid is one of the most popular vitamin supplementations in the market. This is because the synthetic form is better absorbed into the body than its natural form. To get it in its natural form (folate), you should add more beans and leafy vegetables to your plate.
This is one vitamin that should be included in your everyday diet. Excellent sources of vitamin B9 include beans, lentils, avocado, and fortified foods like enriched pasta, enriched bread, and enriched rice.
