Vitamin B6 and Depression
All you need to know

This nutrient is required for the creation of neurotransmitters and brain chemicals that affect your mood.

An Ally Against Depression

According to research by Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing, B vitamins are a valid ally against depressive disorders.

This study was conducted on stroke survivors. However, during this test it came to light that 1 patient on 3 was depressed.

Administer vitamins B6 and B12 together with folic acid.

The outcome of the research, indeed, showed how subjects survived a stroke, that they had taken daily vitamin B6, B9, e B12, were less exposed to depressive disorders.

I personally think there are strong connections between depression and stroke. Tried it in the family.

My mother has been on anti-depressants since 35 years. 3 years ago he had a stroke at a young age of 53 years.

Concidence?

I do not believe.

However, vitamin B6 and in particular folic acid, helps the body to defend itself naturally against depression.
