Well, the answer is C. Good ole Dr Goljan says that Phenytoin = ANTISEIZURE medication inhibits intestinal conjugase. Thats the enzyme that converts the poluglutamate form of folate ingested in the diet to the monoglutamate form that ur gut can absorb.
And if u want a freebie - the absorption of the monoglutamate form of folate can be decreased by alcohol and BCPs.
What no Goljan fans around here?????
