It is a key player in the transfer of one carbon methyl (CH3) groups, a process that plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and repair, cell growth, and the conversion of homocysteine to methionine in the synthesis of SAMe – an important methyl donor. It has been studied for its role in preventing neural tube defects in newborns, and in 1996 the FDA authorized mandatory fortification of enriched grains with folic acid to reduce the risk.\u003csup\u003e\u003csub\u003e1\u003c\/sub\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat foods contain folate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost plants contain some folate, but the best sources include leafy greens, broccoli, beans, citrus fruit, and certain algae. It’s important to eat a variety of different folate sources to get the benefits of the different folate forms present in each. For instance, some plants have higher levels of methylfolate (folate with a methyl group (CH3) attached), and others have higher levels of formylfolates (folates with one or more formyl groups (CHO) attached).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat form of folate is in Whole Food Folate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole Food Folate combines three food sources of folate: collard greens, turnip greens, and golden chlorella.
