Shortage of folic acid may be indicated with diarrhea, heartburn and constipation. Folic acid is very important in the development of the nervous system of a developing fetus.

When deficient of folic acid, you might suffer from fatigue, acne, a sore tongue, cracking at the corners of your mouth (same as deficiency of vitamin B2, vitamin B6 as well as iron).
