A deficiency of folate can occur when your need for folate is increased, when dietary intake of folate is inadequate, and when your body excretes (or loses) more folate than usual. Medications that interfere with your body's ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Some research indicates that exposure to [[ultraviolet light]], including the use of tanning beds, can lead to a folic acid deficiency. | A deficiency of folate can occur when your need for folate is increased, when dietary intake of folate is inadequate, and when your body excretes (or loses) more folate than usual.

Overview
Common causes of folate deficiency include gastrointestinal conditions, including malabsorption syndrome and other diseases obstructing folate absorption. Oncological causes, including leukemia, stomach cancer, and liver cancer are life threatening and should be promptly differentiated and diagnosed.[1]
Causes[2][3][4][5][6][7]
A deficiency of folate can occur when your need for folate is increased, when dietary intake of folate is inadequate, and when your body excretes (or loses) more folate than usual. Medications that interfere with your body's ability to use folate may also increase the need for this vitamin. Some research indicates that exposure to ultraviolet light, including the use of tanning beds, can lead to a folic acid deficiency.
