Would a lack of vitimin b12 and folic acid make some one very tired?
Evo said:As long as you eat a diet with the recommended amount of meat, you shouldn't be lacking these vitamins. Vegans are the only group I know of that have a diet so deficient in essential nutrients that it is dangerous and they have to take supplements.
When in doubt take a mutli-vitamin pill with at least 100% of the minimum daily requirements.

Some common symptoms of vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, shortness of breath, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, and difficulty concentrating.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency can be caused by a variety of factors, including a diet lacking in these nutrients, gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease, certain medications, and conditions that affect the body's ability to absorb these vitamins.
You can prevent vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency by consuming a balanced diet that includes foods rich in these vitamins, such as leafy greens, eggs, dairy products, and fortified cereals. It may also be helpful to take a daily vitamin supplement.
Individuals who follow strict vegan or vegetarian diets, adults over the age of 50, and individuals with certain health conditions or taking certain medications may be at a higher risk for vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency.
Vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency can be treated through dietary changes and vitamin supplements. In some cases, injections or nasal sprays may be necessary for individuals who have difficulty absorbing these vitamins through their diet.
