Folate. I have been unable to find it in the store. Is folate related to niacin. That is my concern as
niacin caused me to have a severe skin breakout. The doctor seemed unsure of my question and I didn't want to press him.
Thank you for your response. Your page is great. Thank you,
Folate is folic acid or folacin which is a vitamin. You can buy it without a prescription. He probably prescribed it to lower your blood levels of homocysteine. It is a different vitamin than niacin which is Vitamin B3.
What foods naturally contain folic acid?
Folic acid also called folacin is richly (>10% per 1 cup serving) found in spinach, asparagus, turnip greens, lima beans, beef liver, parsley, broccoli and romaine lettuce.
