There are several reasons why people may be deficient in folic acid in their bodies. These include:
- Chron's disease or coeliac disease, as these conditions prevent the intestinal absorption of vitamin B9.
- Eating overcooked vegetables.
- Taking birth control pills.
- Haemolytic anaemia.
In addition, the administration of certain medications can also lead to folate deficiency in the body.
