Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that is essential for the growth and reproduction of cells in our organism. It aids in protein metabolism and works with vitamin B12 to promote the production and maturation of red blood cells.

Leucopenia

Folate deficiency can cause a decrease in white blood cells, which in turn reduces body resistance.

Megaloblastic Anemia

Either B12 deficiency or Folate deficiency will lead to megaloblastic anemia.

Interferes with DNA synthesis and repair

As we know, folate plays an important role in DNA synthesis and repair. Folate deficiency will interfere with DNA synthesis and further increase the risky of canceration.

Affective cognitive impairment

Some research shows folate can prevent Alzheimer's disease and depression, etc.

HHcy

Genetic and environmental nutrition are the two factors cause elevated Hcy. Environmental nutritional factors are the deficiency of  metabolic cofactors such as folate, vitamin B6, and B12. These factors are essential in the metabolic reaction of homocysteine, which all can lead to hyperhomocysteinemia.

Abnormal Pregnancy

Pregnancy is a time when the folate requirement is greatly increased to sustain the demand for rapid cell replication and growth of fetal, placental, and maternal tissue. The folate deficiency will lead to abnormal pregnancy, such as neural tube defects, miscarriage, Down syndrome, cleft lip and palate, etc.

Conclusion.

Therefore, nutrition experts recommend folic acid supplementation in specific situations, especially important for pregnant women, women planning pregnancy and those with folic acid absorption disorders.
