Re: Low vitamin D and Folic acid causing real anxiety
Hi Callum
A lot of folks in the UK are deficient in Vitamin D. As per NHS Choices website, they recommend people take Vit D supplements. These can be bought at any supermarket.
With regards to the Folic Acid, again this is a common finding. I assume you're taking Folic Acid 5mg in the morning?
I think these symptoms are more so from anxiety.
I think, having seen your doctor, you can rest assured you're fine.
All the best
(Quote from NHS Choices website re: Vit D)
But since it's difficult for people to get enough vitamin D from food alone, everyone (including pregnant and breastfeeding women) should consider taking a daily supplement containing 10mcg of vitamin D during the autumn and winter.
