Folate - connections

Folate ->

• Affects: Insulin/glucose metabolism
• Associated With: Anorexia, Apathy, Constipation, Hypotension, Leukopenia, Miscarriages, Peripheral neuropathy (Level: high)
• Associated With: Cancers (Level: high; Cancers: breast, prostate, lung, colon; Condition: high vitamin B12 for lung and colon; Evidence: breast preliminary or animal data)
• Associated With: Stomach acid (Level: high; Target level: high)
• Associated With: Anemia, Anorexia, Apathy, Arrhythmia, Asthma, Burning feet, Diarrhea, Digestive problems, Fatigue, Glaucoma, Glossitis, High blood pressure, Low sperm count, Miscarriages, Ménière's disease, Peripheral neuropathy, Slow or impaired growth, Sodium retention (Level: low)
• Associated With: Cancers (Level: low; Cancers: colon, breast, lung, pancreatic)
• Associated With: Stomach acid (Level: low; Target level: low)
• Associated With: Eclampsia or pre-eclampsia, Preeclampsia / Eclampsia (Level: low; Timing: pregnancy)
• Causes: Restless Leg Syndrome (State: deficient; Frequency: some cases)
• Inhibits: Iron (Condition: kidney disease and imbalance)
• Lowers: Dopamine production (State: deficient)
• Reduces: Sodium (State: elevated)

-> Folate

• Magnesium - Antagonizes
• Iron - Inhibits (Condition: kidney disease and imbalance)
• UV exposure - Lowers (Certainty: associated; Level: decreased)
• Folic acid - More Potent Than (Degree: about_twice)
• Kidney diseases - Requires Balance With (Counterpart: iron; Degree: fine)

Low stomach acid - connections

Low stomach acid ->

• Associates With: Lithium (Element level: low; Frequency: frequently; Location: lower stomach)
• Associates With: Bismuth (Element level: low; Frequency: frequently; Location: upper stomach)
• Causes: Headaches
• Causes: Heartburn (Certainty: may; Time: after meals)
• Causes: Soft-tissue calcification (Certainty: potential; Location: outside bone; Unless: sufficient acidifying co-factors are present)
• Causes: Bloating, Indigestion (Duration: long-term; Certainty: potential)
• Causes: Essential nutrient malabsorption (Duration: long-term; Certainty: potential; Example: vitamin B12)
• Causes: Soft-tissue calcification (Frequency: frequently; Instead of: bone)
• Causes: Bloating, Nausea (Time: after meals)
• Causes: Burping (Time: after meals; Frequency: frequent)
• Causes: Bloating, Heartburn-like symptoms (Timing: after a larger meal)
• Does Not Impair: Calcium absorption
• Impairs Utilization Of: Calcium (Frequency: frequently; Quality: proper)
• Increases Activity Of: Helicobacter pylori (Frequency: always)
• Increases Risk Of: Cancers (Duration: long-term; Scope: several types)
• Maintains Or Increases: Calcium absorption (Level: normal or high)
• Negates: Sidedness
• Reduces: Iron uptake, Manganese uptake
• Reduces: Bone density (Certainty: potential; Unless: sufficient acidifying co-factors are present)
• Reduces: Calcium bioavailability (Unless: sufficient acidifying co-factors are present)
• Warrants Test: Helicobacter pylori (Recommendation: worthwhile; Certainty: possible infection)

-> Low stomach acid

• Helicobacter pylori - Causes (Frequency: common)
• Calcium citrate - Is Suited For (Degree: better; Frequency: usually)
• Apple cider vinegar, Lemon or lime water - Treats
• Bromelain - Treats (Condition: acid reflux; Preference: better choice)
• Digestive aid - Treats (Timing: with every larger meal)
• Calcium supplementation, Magnesium - Worsens (Amount: large; Condition: without proper analysis)

Intestine - connections

Intestine ->

• Reabsorbs: Chloride (Condition: stomach acid neutralized)
