Anyone want to add a section on folate tests (serum vs. red blood cell)? I understand the serum test is cheaper but the RBC test can detect more unusual things. E.g. Folate: A tale of two tests. Cheers, Facts707 ( talk) 10:24, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
While both are a form of vitamin b9 and are used by the human body in the same way they are not the same they have slight differences as folate contains several related forms of vitamin b9 while folic acid is just one form and is the primary form in supplements and food fortification 71.241.203.13 ( talk) 09:38, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
We know that all B vitamins are water soluble. But the written amount for folic acid in the article is just 1.6 mg per liter. Is this number correct?! Aminabzz ( talk) 14:47, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello, David notMD and all the editors! Can you please add data on half-life of vitamin B9? For example, what is the half life of 400 mg taken as a supplement? In general, I think that this data on half life would be useful for all vitamin articles in Wikipedia, where such data exists in scientific or health literature. If no such data exist, maybe it should be bold to explicitly state that the half-life of vitamin B9 (or other respective vitamin in case of different vitamin article) taken as a supplement is not known!?

Although a Good Article, this was missing detail and references on absorption, metabolism and excretion, so adding those. David notMD ( talk) 13:49, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
