Tell us your thoughts on this episode!
In this episode, Tina and Leah cover what you need to know about folate, otherwise known as vitamin B9 or folic acid. What could be so important about folate that a whole episode is dedicated to it, you ask? Well, there are times when supplementation is needed and other times when it could be detrimental. Companies selling supplements aren’t going to tell you the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but we will.
Plus, there is a lot of misinformation out there on folate/folic acid, and who better to help clear the air? As always, their discussions are related to cancer treatments and aftercare, but there’s plenty of general information to help non-cancer people understand folate better too.
