It's the same thing except folate occurs naturally and folic acid is synthetic. So the supplement you take is folic acid but you can also get the folate from leafy greens which will have the same effect, but probably in smaller quantity than the supplement

Folic acid. Cheaper Natural folate is more ex and u cant measure the amount eaten to match the daily limit.

They are the same. Folate is the term of folic acid in blood test
