Folate
 

Folate is another B vitamin that has a slightly different function from the others. It seems to specifically relate to periods of rapid cell division and growth such as during pregnancy and infancy. It helps new cells grow and helps old cells repair themselves. Folate is a basic component of both DNA and RNA, the blueprints for all cells. This does not mean that Folate is just for kids though. Children and adults both need it to make normal blood cells to prevent anemia.
