Have you ever wondered why folate holds such a central role in human health? Beyond its reputation for supporting pregnancy, folate influences nearly every corner of metabolism-from energy production to detoxification and even genetic expression. Yet despite its importance, many people remain unaware of how diet, lifestyle, medications, and genetics can shape their folate needs. This book takes you on a clear, practical, and evidence-based journey through the world of folate. It does more than explain concepts-it equips you with tools to understand how folate works in the body, how deficiencies may appear, and how you can apply this knowledge to improve health outcomes.
