10 Side Effects of Folic Acid
Folic Acid Side Effect #4: Strange Taste
Another interesting problem associated with folic acid is that it’s known to cause a strange flavour in the mouth. This generally only occurs when people take huge doses of the nutrient, and they would likely experience some of these other symptoms as well.
Many people report the flavour to be metallic and very unenjoyable. It becomes particularly apparent when you’re trying to eat food, and can contribute to the reduction of appetite that many people experience when they’re using folic acid.
