Anemia (caused by folate deficiency) (Grade: A) Folate deficiency may cause megaloblastic anemia, a blood disorder in which there are very large red blood cells. If the cause is folate deficiency, then treatment with folate is the standard approach. People with anemia should see a medical professional to identify the underlying cause. Folate deficiency (Grade: A) Folate deficiency will occur if the body does not get enough folic acid from dietary intake. Folic acid is effective in the treatment of some complications of folate deficiency. Folate deficiency in alcoholics (Grade: A) Folate deficiency has been seen in alcoholics. Alcohol affects the body's ability to absorb folate and also increases folate in the urine. Many alcohol abusers have poor quality diets that do not provide the suggested intake of folate. Increasing folate intake through diet, or folic acid intake through fortified foods or supplements, may benefit the health of alcoholics. Heart disease (high homocysteine levels) (Grade: A) High blood levels of the amino acid homocysteine is considered a significant risk factor for heart disease. B vitamins, including folate, affect homocysteine levels. Prevention of pregnancy complications (birth defects) (Grade: A) Consuming a high level of folate and taking folic acid supplements by mouth during pregnancy helps reduce the risk of birth defects in the infant. Methotrexate toxicity (Grade: B) Folate may help people being treated with long-term, low-dose methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or psoriasis. Folate deficiency may cause side effects including stomach problems and inflammation, hair loss, anemia, and high homocysteine levels, which are linked to heart disease. People who have experienced side effects may need to continue taking folic acid for the duration of methotrexate therapy. People receiving methotrexate for cancer should avoid folic acid supplements, unless suggested by their doctor. There is some evidence that folic acid supplements reduce the effectiveness of methotrexate in the treatment of some cancers. Acute lymphocytic leukemia (cancer of the white blood cells) (Grade: C) Early evidence suggests that vitamin use during pregnancy might protect against acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The effects of folate alone are not clear. High-quality research on folate supplementation is needed before a conclusion may be made. Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual period) (Grade: C) Early studies show that folic acid treatment may improve health, including levels of homocysteine, in women with absent menstrual periods caused by exercise. Further study is needed. Anemia (blood disorder caused by iron deficiency) (Grade: C) The effect of folic acid on iron-deficiency anemia is not clear. More research is needed in this area before a firm conclusion can be made. Arsenic poisoning (Grade: C) Folate may lower blood levels of arsenic and may help prevent illnesses caused by arsenic. Additional research is needed in this area. Bipolar disorder (Grade: C) Folic acid deficiency has been found among people with depression and has been linked to poor response to treatment. Higher blood levels of homocysteine are linked to increased depression in later life. Folate has been used for enhancing treatment response to antidepressants. Further study is needed to determine the effects on bipolar people. Cancer (general) (Grade: C) Early evidence on the use of folate seems promising for decreasing the risk of breast, cervical, pancreatic, and stomach cancer. However, currently there is a lack of strong evidence available to support this use of folate. Chronic fatigue syndrome (Grade: C) Some people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) also have decreased folic acid levels. Daily injections of a combination of folic acid, bovine liver extract, and vitamin B12 for three weeks lacked benefit in early research. Further study is needed in this area. Cognitive function (Grade: C) Combined B vitamin supplementation lacked benefit in early research on cognitive decline in women with heart disease or heart disease risk factors. The link between low folate levels and cognitive impairment in older people is unclear. The effect of folic acid in combination with multivitamins on children's cognitive function has also been studied. Further research is needed in this area. Coronary artery disease (Grade: C) Folic acid may benefit coronary artery disease in terms of blood pressure control. More research is needed in this area. People with this condition need to be treated by a qualified healthcare provider. Dementia (Grade: C) Dementia and Alzheimer's disease have been linked to low folate levels and high homocysteine levels. B vitamins, including folate, and the prevention of dementia are currently being studied. However, results are mixed. High-quality studies are still needed before a conclusion may be made. Depression (Grade: C) Folic acid deficiency has been found among people with depression and has been linked to poor response to treatment. Folate supplements have been used for enhancing treatment response to antidepressants. Limited research suggests that folic acid may lack effectiveness when compared to standard treatment. Depression should be treated by a qualified healthcare provider. Diabetes (Grade: C) The effect of folic acid on diabetes is not clear. High-quality research is still needed in this area. Down's syndrome (Grade: C) Early research shows a lack of protective effect of folic acid on heart problems in infants with Down's syndrome. Low folate levels in mothers may be a risk factor for babies with Down's syndrome. Further study is needed. Epilepsy (Grade: C) Early research shows a lack of protective effect of folic acid for epilepsy, a seizure disorder. Further study is needed. General health maintenance (Grade: C) Folic acid has been studied for improving well-being in general in both adults and children. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made. Glaucoma (eye disease) (Grade: C) Low levels of folic acid and high homocysteine levels have been linked to an increased risk of glaucoma. However, more research is needed before a conclusion can be made on the effects of folic acid supplementation. Gout (Grade: C) Early evidence suggests that higher intake of folic acid may be linked to a lower risk of gout. More study is needed. Growth (Grade: C) Use of multiple vitamins and minerals has been found to improve growth. The effect of folate alone is not clear. Hearing loss (Grade: C) Folic acid supplementation has been found to benefit hearing loss associated with aging. Low folate levels in the blood may be linked to sudden hearing loss in adults. However, more studies are needed. Heart disease (Grade: C) Homocysteine is considered a significant risk factor for heart disease. Levels of this amino acid may be controlled by B vitamins, including folate. However, more research is needed before a firm conclusion can be made. High blood pressure (Grade: C) Some study suggests that folic acid supplementation may decrease high blood pressure. Further study is needed to confirm these results. High blood pressure associated with pregnancy (Grade: C) A combination therapy, including folate, in women with high blood pressure during pregnancy may benefit both the mother and child. More studies are needed to examine the role of folate alone for this condition. High blood sugar/glucose intolerance (Grade: C) In people with high blood sugar, folic acid in combination with enalapril (a blood pressure medication) resulted in lower blood sugar levels, compared to enalapril alone. More trials are needed before a conclusion may be drawn. pylori infection (Grade: C) Early evidence suggests that H. pylori infection and low folic acid levels may not be linked. Further study is needed. Kidney disease (chronic) (Grade: C) Although lowering homocysteine levels with folic acid with or without other B vitamins does not appear to reduce heart disease risk in general populations, heart disease risk may be lowered in people with chronic kidney disease. Further study is needed. Lometrexol toxicity (Grade: C) Results are unclear on the use of folic acid for reducing toxicity from the cancer drug lometrexol. More study is needed. Mouth sores (caused by cancer treatment) (Grade: C) The effect of folate on mouth sores associated with cancer treatment is not clear. Further study is required. Multiple sclerosis (Grade: C) Early evidence shows that people with multiple sclerosis may not have significantly altered folate levels, but may have high homocysteine and low B12 levels. Further study is needed. Phenytoin-induced gingival hyperplasia (Grade: C) Early evidence shows that applying folic acid may help prevent the overgrowth of gum tissue caused by therapy with the anti-seizure drug phenytoin. Taking folic acid by mouth has been found to lack benefit. More research is needed in this area. Pregnancy-related gingivitis (gum disease) (Grade: C) Based on early research, applying folic acid to the gum may improve gum disease in pregnant women. More studies are needed to confirm these results. Prevention of pregnancy complications (other) (Grade: C) Studies have shown that folate intake during pregnancy prevents deficiency and associated anemia in pregnant women. Low folate levels during pregnancy may contribute to birth defects and pregnancy loss. Folate alone or in combination with iron may reduce the incidence of low birth weight. The role of folate supplementation in pregnancy and the prevention of heart problems in the baby have also been reviewed. Further study is needed. Stroke (Grade: C) Study results are mixed for the use of folate in people with stroke. Further research is needed in this area before a strong conclusion may be made. Vein clots (Grade: C) Hyperhomocysteinemia may be associated with thrombosis. One study analysis indicates that folic acid may have a beneficial effect on hypercoagulable (tendency to have blood clots) pregnant women. However, further study is needed. Vitiligo (irregular white patches on the skin) (Grade: C) Early studies suggest that folic acid and vitamin B12 may improve the symptoms of vitiligo. Further research is needed to confirm these results. Fragile X syndrome (genetic disorder causing mental and learning problems) (Grade: D) Studies have shown that folic acid supplementation lacks effect on symptoms of Fragile X syndrome. Further study is needed. Colorectal cancer (Grade: F) Folate supplementation studies in general have found a lack of effect on colorectal cancer. In addition, an increased risk was reported in people treated for 3-6 years with folic acid.
