Folic Acid No! Folate Yes!

The following is an excerpt from some very important information I came across today while researching vitamin B3.  

I was reminded that there is a difference, a big difference between folate and folic acid and that I had read somewhere that folic acid is not only inferior but may actually promote cancer cells and cancer development.  

Folic acid is the synthetic form of the B vitamin and Folate is the close to the natural/vegetable form.

The links on this page come from the writing of Chris Kresser.

Visitors might want to consider buying only multiple vitamins that contain folate and discarding any multi-vit's you may have containing folic acid.
