Utility of B12: The proven utility of B12 injections for symptoms of fatigue, listlessness, general malaise is an age old debate. It certainly has its role in certain pathologies such as neuropathies, dementia, and certain forms of anemia. In general, I look for other reasons to explain all the things people think B12 cures which have never been proven. B12 would not LOWER your folate (folic acid) levels anywhere in the body
