Folinic acid - bioactive folate

Folacal Folate Folinic acidFolate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in leafy green vegetables. Folacal with folinic acid converts to the bioactive form of folate, capable of boosting levels of the coenzyme forms of the vitamin, whereas folic acid has little to no effect. Folate participates in several key biological processes, including synthesis of DNA, RNA and proteins. †

Other symptoms and signs of folate deficiency include: weakness, fatigue, irritability, headache, difficulty concentrating, cramps, palpitations, shortness of breath and inflammation of the tongue. 1

Marginal folate deficiency appears to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, Alzheimer's disease and depression.†

It is known that alcohol interferes with normal absorption and metabolism of folacin. 2
