Improved mood

4 people found this helpful

I chose this folate due to its large dosage and volume, as I needed it to restore my methylation cycle affected by stress and deficiencies. After experiencing depression for the first time, I identified a B9 deficiency. My attempts to improve my condition with various vitamins showed some progress, but not entirely. Upon starting folic acid and B12, I noticed my mood beginning to normalise. Unlike tryptophan, which was ineffective, folic acid proved beneficial. I later switched to a more bioavailable form of folate and studied methylation processes, recognising their importance. It's crucial not to overlook this if you're struggling. I've combined it with SAMe, which also yielded positive results. However, the high dosage made me excessively sleepy, a contrast to folic acid. Be cautious with dosage - I had to split the pill. Best of health!

Maintains focus

Methylated Bit B has been purchased for a family member with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and it seems to help in maintaining their focus effectively. This provides a good way to ensure that sufficient B vitamins are consumed daily.

Remarkable effect

I ordered this for the second time for my 5-year-old child to alleviate hyperactivity associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder through B12. The effect is quite noticeable and doesn't induce drowsiness.
