What is active folate and L-Methyltetrahydrofolate

What is active Folate? The main difference between active Folate and normal Folate is that active Folate is a water-soluble vitamin belonging to vitamin b9, whereas normal Folate, which can be used to change the body's anaemia status, is 12 to 15 times higher than the normal Folate dose.

Folate is effective in preventing anaemia in pregnant women, who usually need it after pregnancy to produce normal red blood cells. Nowadays, all pregnancies are associated with an inadequate intake of Folate, which may trigger anaemia in pregnant women, and can therefore be properly regulated after Folate supplementation. And taking Folate can also prevent fetal neural tube defects, which are very common congenital disorders, if a woman takes an effective dose of Folate consistently in the first trimester when she is already preparing for pregnancy.
What is active folate and L-Methyltetrahydrofolate
There are three common types of Folate. Active Folate is L-Methyltetrahydrofolate, which does not need to be metabolised and can be absorbed directly by the body without any side effects and has no upper tolerance limit. 
The other type refers to natural Folate, extracted from green leaves, vegetables, legumes, fish, eggs and nuts, etc. 
There is also a type of Folate called synthetic Folate, also known as folic acid, which is also commonly available on the market.
