                                While both relate to vitamin B9, the short answer is no, Fol Xt and folic acid are not the same thing. Fol Xt is a brand name for a combination supplement that contains L-methylfolate, the active form of folate, while folic acid is the synthetic, less bioavailable form of vitamin B9.
