Bioavailability of folate refers to the proportion of folate that is absorbed and utilized by the body after consumption. Naturally occurring folate in food has a lower bioavailability compared to synthetic folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods, as folic acid is more readily absorbed. Factors such as food preparation, individual metabolism, and the presence of other nutrients can also affect folate bioavailability. Overall, the bioavailability of folate is influenced by its source and the body's specific needs.
