Folate is a general term for a group of water soluble b-vitamins, and is also known as B9. Folic acid refers to the oxidized synthetic compound used in dietary supplements and food fortification, whereas folate refers to the various tetrahydrofolate derivatives naturally found in food. (1)
Folate is found in whole foods and in your body, while folic acid is found in most vitamin supplements. Folic acid needs vitamin C, niacin, and vitamin B12 in order to be converted to its biologically active form.nterestingly, folic acid found in most vitamin supplements is more efficiently absorbed into your blood than folate. Because of this, the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine created a unit called the Dietary Folate Equivalent (DFE) . 1  1 microgram (mcg) of folate found in food provides 1 mcg of DFE.
