Hey, my brain's working better!
I have both ADHD and anxiety. Yikes! I've known for a long time that B vitamins have a positive impact on anxiety, but it just never really worked that well for me personally. I generally manage my anxiety with meditation, yoga, breathing techniques, and the occasional Xanax. But then I read an article about natural treatments for anxiety - I wish I could find it now - and it included mention of Methylcobalamin and Folinic Acid as options to improve brain function and help with anxiety and ADHD. Hm. Worth a try. So I ordered both on Amazon (this is the folinic acid I bought: Source Naturals MegaFolinic, 800 Mcg 120 Tablets ). First of all, they were surprisingly affordable supplements. Yay! Second, they arrived quickly. Double yay! It's been a couple of weeks since I ordered, and you know what I just realized? I'm not taking Xanax during the day anymore. I'm not having to do many of my breathing exercises lately. The anxiety is just...better. Way, way better. I put my husband on it at the same time, and lately he's been saying, "I'm really handling this a lot better than normally." Maybe you're thinking this might be a psychosomatic response. But here's the thing: my hubby has no idea about the supplements I feed him in the morning. LOL He just takes them. So he has literally no idea whatsoever that he's been taking a supplement that's supposed to help his brain work better. So it's good stuff and it works. On to the supplement itself: it's a small pill and chewable. I'm not a big fan of chewable, but I do chew it and it's like a mild Sweet Tart candy. I don't mind it - in fact, I kind of look forward to it. It's like my "breakfast dessert." Hubby hates chewable and swallows it whole. This will definitely become a part of our regular routine. Highly recommend
