Folate know-how Did you know that the body cannot process folic acid just as it is? It has to go through a series of conversion processes into a form called methyltetrahydrofolate (MTHF), the active form of folate that the body can then use.

Natural Road Hand Harvested Celtic Sea Salt is available in two varieties, Coarse and Fine.
