Final answer:

The synthetic version of Folate, which is also easier to digest, is Folic acid. It is readily absorbed by the intestine and converted to the active coenzyme form called tetrahydrofolate (THF).

Step-by-step explanation:

The synthetic version of Folate, which is also easier to digest, is known as Folic acid. Folic acid is readily absorbed by the intestine and undergoes reduction in the liver to become active coenzyme form of folic acid, called tetrahydrofolate (THF). It can be easily supplied by the intestinal flora and is found in exogenous food sources like liver, eggs, and leafy vegetables.
