Folate vs Folic Acid

Scarlett • Mon, Sep 21 • Hello there. My name is Scarlett. I'm 24 years old, married, and expecting my first in March.

If anyone is interested in researching it or just curious what the difference is:

I've browsed various sites over the months, trying to deduce what the best option for me would be. In the beginning, I started with Folic Acid, then switched to Folate. I'm constantly looking up information about the vitamins I need to absorb. Typically, I get what I need in my diet, but I like to research different prescription and non-prescription prenatal vitamins (organic, natural, vegetarian, vegan, etc).
