Just left the pharmacy. I saw a mommas post wondering what the difference between “folic” and “folate” is. The pharmacist told me they are basically the same only that one is more acid based and the other is not. I asked bc of the post and bc I am taking half a prenatal with folate daily, and needed to make sure we are getting exactly what we need.Just asking for my own knowledge & Hope this helps someone.

Ive always taken folic because that’s what I have always heard you’re supposed to take, but here recently I have heard folate is the one that’s better because it is the natural form of vitamin b9 and folic acid is the manufactured version of vit b9. All of my babies have been born super healthy so I’m not saying either is right or wrong, this is just some recent info I have come across 🤷🏽♀️

Folate is processed easier by the body from my understanding.
