Let's discuss the causes and consequences of folate deficiency. Some of the early symptoms include a swollen and magenta-colored tongue, cracks in the corners of the mouth, mouth ulcers, forgetfulness, diarrhea, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, poor memory, confusion, insomnia, and depression.

Folate plays a role in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, so deficiency can contribute to depression. Folate deficiency can also lead to anemia, fatigue, headaches, muscle weakness, heart palpitations, weight loss, loss of appetite, dizziness, and shortness of breath.

There are several factors that can contribute to folate deficiency, such as certain medications, diseases like celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease, and genetic factors like the MTHFR mutation. Folate deficiency can have a wide range of negative effects on the body and is associated with various chronic diseases.
