Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is one of the essential nutrients in the human body. It plays a variety of important functions in the body.

So what is the link between folate and the immune system?

Cell differentiation and proliferation

Folate plays an important role in DNA synthesis, especially during cell differentiation and proliferation.

Folate deficiency may lead to abnormal cell differentiation and proliferation, which in turn affects the number and function of cells in the immune system.

Antibody production

Folate is an important nutrient required to regulate antibody production.

Antibodies are important defense substances in the immune system, which can recognize and eliminate invading pathogens.

Folate deficiency may affect antibody production and function, making the immune system less able to cope with infection.

Immunomodulation

Folate is involved in methylation responses and regulates gene expression and cell signaling.

Abnormal cell signaling and gene expression in the immune system may lead to immune dysfunction, resulting in insufficient or excessive immune responses to infection and disease.

Folate can usually play a role in improving immunity. Proper supplementation of Folate in daily life is more conducive to health.
