Methylfolate vs. Folinic Acid - What's the difference?

Methylfolate and folinic acid can both be converted to the other via enyzmatic reactions, but this isn't always easy for the body to do. Consider the functions of each: Methylfolate supports methylation with the help of methylcobalamin. Methylation supports 200+ enzymatic reactions! Folinic acid supports DNA base production in rapidly dividing cells including growth of hair, skin, and lining of the intestines.
