The term “fauxlate” is a portmanteau of “faux” and “folate” used to refer to folic acid, the synthetic, oxidized form of vitamin B9 commonly found in fortified foods and supplements. 

The term is primarily used in discussions and resources (such as a YouTube course by Dr. John Campbell) that highlight the distinction between synthetic folic acid and natural folates found in food, and raise concerns about the former’s safety and effects when consumed in large quantities. 

You can find more detailed information and discussions on this topic at the Fauxlate website or by watching the related video, “Fauxlate: The drug in our food”, on YouTube.
