Hi there!
After reading success stories about folic acid + b12 for depression, I decided to try it for my self.
I started experimenting with the following :
- 800 mcg of folic acid (folacin (folic acid) tablets, brand Solgar)
- 500 mcg of b12 (cyanocobalamin capsules, brand Solgar)
I was taking them on an empty stomach in the morning.
They worked very well for one week. I was in a better mood and feeling more energetic and corageous, rather than being apathic and scared-of-life kinda attitude.
After one week or so of using it, I started to feel very tired, I think it felt something like an anemia, although I never had one.
After looking on the internet, I found Iron is related with folic acid and b12. Maybe the first week I was using my iron reserves and once I depleted them, I started to feel the anemia state. Could that be ? What do you think ? Or maybe magnesium or anyother related mineral on my body ?
What are your thoughts on that ? Would you recommend trying again with MTHFA+Methylcobalamin ? Maybe there was a problem with methylation ...
Thanks in advance.
