People with schizophrenia who took B12 and folate stopped feeling emotionally flat and exhausted — symptoms that mirror chronic fatigue. Stroke patients with low B12 reported far worse fatigue than those with normal levels. In gut disease patients, B vitamins directly reduced fatigue. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/TaDxF2
Very strong evidence
Multiple randomized or controlled trials back these claims.
Low B12 and folate might be quietly fueling today’s wave of constant tiredness.
Other research shows that people with low B12 levels report feeling much more tired, even in groups like stroke patients where fatigue isn’t the main issue. In people with schizophrenia, adding B12 and folate helped reduce feelings of exhaustion and emotional numbness—symptoms that look a lot like chronic fatigue. And in folks with gut diseases, B vitamin supplements actually improved their fatigue. None of this proves these deficiencies are behind the modern rise in fatigue, but they do show a strong, consistent pattern: when these vitamins are low, people feel drained.
It’s not a magic fix, but if you’re constantly tired, checking your B12 and folate levels might be worth a conversation with your doctor.
