Aliases: Folate, total

Pharmacological Mechanism

The panel measurand for all folate in a food — naturally occurring food folate plus any added synthetic folic acid — reported in micrograms. It is distinct from Folate (DFE), which weights folic acid for its higher bioavailability, and from food folate alone, which this site records separately as folate.

Notes

Panel measurand rather than a single administered substance. Added when nutrient rows that reported this measurement were found filed under the slug of one specific species.
