Folinic acid (a.k.a. 5-formyl tetrahydrofolate) is one of the forms of folate, a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in foods. Having enough folate in the body is a common problem due to food processing, food selection and gastrointestinal system problems.
Biochemically in the body, folinic acid supports cellular perception and response, methylation processes and many enzymatic reactions.* It may also support healthy homocysteine levels and support cardiovascular health.*
Folinic acid in the body can be converted into any of the other active forms of folate. Folic acid, the synthetic form of folinic acid, goes through a complicated biochemical process to be active in the body. Folinic acid is more readily bioavailable than folic acid; therefore, some individuals may respond better to it.
