Vitamin B9 (folate) is a water-soluble B vitamin that functions mainly as a coenzyme in one-carbon metabolism. This means it transfers single-carbon units (–CH₃, –CH₂, –CHO groups) between molecules during critical biochemical reactions. It is also beneficial for women trying to get pregnant or who are pregnant.
