A comprehensive scientific review of folate, examining its biochemical pathways, metabolic regulation, and critical role in human health.

The sources explore the impact of genetic polymorphisms, such as the MTHFR variant, on disease susceptibility and the effectiveness of folic acid fortification programs worldwide. Furthermore, the material investigates the complex relationship between folate status and chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cognitive decline.
