In this podcast, I’m going to talk about B9. There are a couple of different versions, one is folic acid, and the other is folate.

Folate vs folic acid:

Folic acid — This is the synthetic version which I don’t recommend.

Folate — This is the natural version from folate-rich foods like vegetables or organ meats.

If you've been wondering which is better, folate or folic acid, the better choice is folate.

Vitamin B9 is very important in many chemical reactions in the body, especially:

• Turning genes on and off

• DNA repair

This is a very common deficiency, and if you have a B9 deficiency, you could have a lot of body issues.

0:44.0	Folic acid is the synthetic version, which I recommend you avoid, and then you have
0:49.7	folate, which is the natural version.
0:51.6	And the reason I want to bring this up
0:52.8	is that vitamin B9 is very, very important
0:56.2	and many chemical reactions in the body,
0:59.0	and especially in turning genes on and turning them off and DNA repair. So if you're deficient in

1:17.6	folic acid to the active form of b9 which is methylfulate uses this enzyme which is commonly mutated.
1:27.6	So there are different types of mutations or alterations in different groups of people and some mutations create no problem at all
