    Glossary Folate Deficiency

    insufficient folate levels impair DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation

    Folate deficiency, also known as folic acid deficiency or vitamin B9 deficiency, occurs when the body has insufficient levels of folate, a crucial B vitamin needed for DNA synthesis, cell division, and proper red blood cell formation. This deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and anemia, and is particularly concerning during pregnancy as it can cause neural tube defects in the developing fetus.
