Hello,
The folic acid is converted in the body by methylation to L-methylfolate and after this assembly, the methyl group is given to vitamin B12 for further proceedings.
If needs any further biochemical information above this, please feel free to ask ahead.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
