Summary
They described being fatigued every day with no energy, no appetite and chronic inflammation, along with brain fog, anxiety and abdominal pain. Taking folic acid three to five times a week, plus thiamine on off days, brought back energy and appetite, cleared the brain fog and inflammation, and they said they were almost back to normal, then that they had got back to normal quickly. The gains came without taking it daily.
