In this episode of the Manolo G Podcast, we dig into something that doesn’t get talked about enough: folic acid. You’ve probably seen it on cereal boxes or vitamin labels, but most people don’t really know what it is or that it might not be great for everyone.

We talk about what folic acid actually does, why it’s added to food, and how it helps with things like DNA production, red blood cells, and preventing birth defects. But here’s where it gets interesting. Up to half of us have something called the MTHFR gene mutation, which can make it harder for our bodies to process folic acid properly. That can lead to a buildup of the synthetic chemicals in your system, and that’s where some real issues can start.

We go over what that means, understanding the mutation, and better ways to get your folate naturally through food or smarter supplements.

This episode is about understanding your body and making choices that actually work for you.
