Message definition (Folate)
<!-- Definition and uses -->
'''Folate''', also known as '''vitamin B<sub>9</sub>''' and '''folacin''', is one of the [[B vitamins]]. Manufactured '''folic acid''', which is converted into folate by the body, is used as a [[dietary supplement]] and in [[food fortification]] as it is more stable during processing and storage. Folate is required for the body to make [[DNA]] and [[RNA]] and metabolise [[amino acids]] necessary for [[cell division]]. As the human body cannot make folate, it is required in the diet, making it an essential [[nutrient]]. It occurs naturally in many foods. The recommended adult daily intake of folate in the U.S. is 400 [[microgram]]s from foods or [[dietary supplement]]s.
