I have been on a b12/methylfolate protocol for a while now. I usually never go over 2mg of sublingual methylfolate a day. I take 5-10mg of sublingual methylcobalamin a day. And 6-9 mg of dibencozide a day.
I have done a lot of research on methylation but I am still unsure of what hypokalemia feels like. I've never really had much issues with passing out or anything like that. Maybe my body is good on potassium?
The reason I ask is because I want to start taking a lot more methylfolate daily. I think it may help correct my food intolerances and leaky gut issues (endothelial?). I read a post by Freddd saying to try 4mg of methylfolate and see how you feel. I took 4mg of methylfolate a couple hours ago and I feel pretty tense and rigid. Are these low potassium symptoms? I took a gram of potassium chloride and I think it may have helped a tiny, tiny bit but the effect was barely noticeable.
My #1 goal is to fix my leaky gut issues so I stop having terrible reactions to everything. I have tried l-glutamine and all the recommened things for leaky gut but it just does not help enough. Maybe I need to be taking 10+ mg of methylfolate a day in order to correct this. I'm assuming I'm going to need to supplement potassium if I go up that high but I am totally lost at this point. I keep reading conflicting info on methylation...
