Supplementing with whole food-based vitamins may promote better mental healthThough this particular study did not identify a link between general deficiencies of other B vitamins like B2 and B12 and high frequency or intensity of
panic attacks, all B vitamins are important for healthy brain and bodily function. A deficiency in any B vitamins, in other words, can lead to mental health problems, which is why it is important to keep your levels in check.
"Chronic stress, poor diet, and certain medical conditions can deplete the body's stores of vital nutrients," explains one source about the important of B
vitamins. "Many of those who suffer from agoraphobia (fear of crowded spaces or enclosed public places) are deficient in certain B complex vitamins, and this may be the case for other anxiety-related conditions as well. Symptoms of
vitamin B deficiency may include anxiety, restlessness, fatigue, irritability, and emotional instability."
If you are looking to supplement with B vitamins, be sure to purchase only whole food-based varieties like those produced by companies like MegaFood and Garden of Life. Whole food-based supplements of any kind are not only better absorbed by the body than their synthetic counterparts, but they are also healthier than standard, run of the mill vitamins and better capable of providing optimal therapeutic benefit.
"Vitamins are made up of several different components - enzymes, co-enzymes, and co-factors - that must work together to produce their intended biologic effects," explains Dr. Ben Kim. "The majority of vitamins that are sold in pharmacies, grocery stores, and vitamin shops are synthetic vitamins, which are only isolated portions of the vitamins that occur naturally in food."
