B12 and Folate

[130396]

Does anyone know If low in range folate and B12 can make you feel anxious and jittery?

For me it doesn't cause those symptoms but we all react differently.

This is a list of symptoms from a B12 deficiency :

I don't have a thorough link for folate deficiency symptoms.

For the body to be able to make good use of B12 it needs good levels of folate. So if your folate is low you might get symptoms of low B12 too.

A useful link on folate / folic acid - well worth reading :

If you want some help on your nutrient levels you should post some test results and reference ranges and ask for feedback.

Personal anecdote : I reduced my anxiety and lots of other symptoms by doing what I could to optimise my iron and ferritin. It took a very long time (about 21 months of supplementing) because I absorb it so poorly. I now take a maintenance dose of iron to stop it from dropping into my boots again. I also test regularly to make sure I don't overdo it.
