How might addressing vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies impact chronic fatigue in otherwise healthy individuals?
Vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies linked to chronic fatigue
Researchers from Osaka Metropolitan University have identified a potential hidden cause of chronic fatigue: deficiencies in vitamin B12 and folate. The study, published on May 28, 2026, found that even healthy individuals with higher levels of a blood marker associated with these deficiencies were more likely to experience constant exhaustion or lack of motivation. This discovery could lead to new dietary recommendations for managing chronic fatigue in the general population.
