Additional folate supplements

Hi,

I’m not diagnosed. T3 and T4 low TSH creeping up to 2.5 but according to blood tests I’m fine. Feeling exhausted in spite of sleeping like a log,, weak muscles, poor appetite etc. I started innegus b just before Xmas, one tablet as on two my wee was neon. No point peeing them out I thought to myself. I upped my vit d to 5 sprays it’s the oral one with vit k. I was feeling a bit better on this but feeling so tired again. I know my folate’s low. Someone recommended an additional folate supplement but I can’t remember what it was called. Any recommendations for a folate supplement to take please? I’m on my journey getting proper diagnosis/help. This is just in the interim. Thanks

Fizzwhizz - Perhaps it was Jarrows Methyl Folate 400 mcg which can be taken together with the B complex you are already taking in order to raise your folate levels. When stopping B complex a few days before a test because it contains biotin many people continue to take the Jarrows for those days.
