Folate Supplementation
for Anaemia
Folic acid supplementation for RLS associated with folate deficiency, which can impair dopamine metabolism and worsen restless leg symptoms.
How it works
Folate is required for tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis, a cofactor in dopamine and serotonin production. Deficiency may impair dopaminergic tone in basal ganglia circuits involved in RLS.
What to watch for
Must exclude B12 deficiency before treating with folate alone - folate can mask B12 deficiency and allow neurological damage to progress.
