Folate alleviates dizziness symptoms
We explored the effectiveness of L-methylfolate, a form of folate, on alleviating dizziness, particularly in individuals with a specific genetic mutation. In one case, a patient experienced prolonged symptoms like headache, fatigue, and dizziness after taking terbinafine, known as Lamisil.
After conducting genetic tests, it was discovered that this patient was heterozygous for the C677T variation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, which can affect how the body processes folate.
Fortunately, after prescribing L-methylfolate (Deplin), the patient's symptoms significantly improved. This reinforces the potential of L-methylfolate to help individuals with certain genetic predispositions, especially when medications interfere with the body's methylation cycle.
Overall, our findings suggest that for some patients, especially those with MTHFR mutations, treating dizziness with folate could be a promising avenue worth exploring further.

We examined a unique case involving a 38-year-old man who experienced sudden hearing loss and vertigo due to a destructive lesion in his temporal bone.
After discovering elevated plasma homocysteine levels, we treated him with folic acid. Remarkably, this treatment effectively normalized his homocysteine levels.
Following treatment, the granulation tissue in his temporal bone healed progressively, although cochlear function was not restored. This case highlights the potential link between high homocysteine and new complications in ear health.

We examined a unique case of severe haemolytic anaemia due to folic acid deficiency in a young woman with beta thalassaemia trait. She presented with symptoms like dizziness and tiredness, and her tests revealed low haemoglobin and folate levels.
After diagnosing her condition, we administered high-dose oral folic acid along with blood transfusions. Remarkably, her haemoglobin significantly improved after three months of treatment, and she returned to her normal activities.
This case highlights that folic acid deficiency can lead to serious anaemia but responds well to treatment.

Dizziness disappeared
I purchased this product for my daughter, who received a large supply of 250 tablets. Each tablet contains 400 micrograms of folic acid, which is quite effective. After taking it for two months, her blood counts normalised, and her dizziness completely vanished.

Dizziness stopped
After taking folic acid, initially prescribed for my mother, I decided to try it myself as I had been experiencing persistent dizziness. I took it twice daily, and remarkably, the dizziness faded by the end of the second day, possibly reducing my intracranial pressure.

Iron tablet compliance among women
We explored the factors influencing adult women in rural Vietnam to take iron tablets as part of an effort to combat anemia. Conducted in Nghe An province, a survey of women who gave birth recently revealed that a majority found fewer episodes of dizziness and a concern for their newborn's health as significant motivators for compliance.
However, the study highlighted that regular availability of these tablets was crucial for sustained use. Despite some positive motivations, environmental challenges still hampered consistent adherence to iron supplementation.

We observed the case of a 25-year-old male who came into the emergency room complaining of severe headache and dizziness, lasting for three days. After a thorough examination, it was found that he had a history of nitrous oxide abuse leading to a vitamin B12 deficiency.
During his hospital visit, he was diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis (CSVT), likely linked to his elevated homocysteine levels—thanks to the vitamin deficiencies. Part of the treatment included folate, which is commonly prescribed alongside B vitamins to help mitigate such issues.
Unfortunately, the case data do not specify the isolated effect of folate on the patient’s dizziness. However, the overall treatment did lead to an improvement in his symptoms after a week.
While we can't definitively attribute his recovery to folate alone, we know it plays a role in maintaining healthy blood levels and could be beneficial for people experiencing dizziness related to vitamin deficiencies. This highlights the importance of a well-rounded approach to treatment that includes adequate vitamin supplementation.

Dizziness decreases
Folic acid in its natural form is of good quality and decent capsule size. It boosts iron levels and energy, and acts as an antioxidant. I noticed an obvious improvement in overall strength, while dizziness decreased significantly, helping to calm my nervous system.
