Has anyone's Psychiatrist told you to make sure you are taking enough folic acid a day? Mine said it helps with depression and helps the medication work better....I quit taking my vitamins months ago I think I should get back on them.

Not folic acid, but Vit D3, yes.

Peace

I take a few supplements. Vitamin D3, fish oil, magnesium and a multivitamin. I also take gelatin and coconut oil.

I hope that the folic acid helps you.

Hugs, Karen...

I'd not heard of folic acid helping but mine has me on 5000 D3 (I tested low in April. My level was 20), fish oil, calcium, magnesium & a multi vitamin. I've heard they're better to take at night and with food.

I'll ask abt the folic acid. (Magnesium is important too for moods. My sister had me on that last year to help with my heavy, crampy periods & PMS).

Folic acid IS B vitamin- DOH. Yep, I started a super B complex. I but nature made from cvs or walgreens when they're on sale for b1g1 free.

Okay my multi vitamin has the daily requirements needed, I too am using the coconut oil, I also just started the chia seeds, see if they help as much as people claim they do.

I also take Ocuvite for my eyes.
