Persistent feelings of exhaustion are frequently attributed to lifestyle choices, such as poor sleep or the demands of working too hard. However, new findings suggest that these factors may not fully explain why some individuals feel constantly drained. Researchers in Japan have conducted a study indicating that biological factors play a significant role in energy levels.
The research team found that low levels of key vitamins—specifically vitamin B12 and folate—may be responsible for chronic fatigue symptoms. According to the study, these deficiencies may "quietly contribute" to a lack of energy and a lack of motivation in individuals.
The findings are particularly significant because they apply to people who are otherwise healthy. Researchers observed that low levels of vitamin B12 and folate can impact general well-being regardless of other health markers. This suggests that nutritional deficiencies are a relevant factor for fatigue even in the absence of other medical issues. The study shifts the focus from behavioral factors to nutritional health as a potential cause for feeling drained.
