Folate is important for cell division, growth and protein metabolism. It supports skin regeneration, promotes the formation of red blood cells and the production of nucleic acids. Folate contributes to collagen synthesis and helps to repair cell damage caused by UV radiation and free radicals, keeping the skin smooth and wrinkle-free.
