They're really the same thing. "Folic acid" is the term used for
synthetic forms of the vitamin, such as the stuff used to fortify
breakfast cereals. "Folate" is reserved for the vitamin as it's found
in actual foods. If the two are tracked separately, the sensible thing
would be to add them together.
