After taking high amounts of vitamin B6 for a month, people are reportedly feeling less worried or depressed. The B6 may be useful in preventing or treating mood problems due to the soothing effect it has on the brain.
The excitatory neurons that convey information throughout the brain and the inhibitory neurons that stop runaway activity must coexist in a delicate balance for the brain to function. Recent studies have linked a disturbance of this balance—often in the direction of increased levels of brain activity—with mood disorders and other neuropsychiatric illnesses.
Our study shows that vitamin B6 has a calming impact by assisting the body in the production of a particular chemical messenger that blocks brain impulses.
Although earlier research has shown that marmite or multivitamins can lower stress levels, very little research has been done to determine which specific vitamins in these products are responsible for this outcome.
Over the course of the trial, Vitamin B12 had minimal impact in comparison to the placebo, but Vitamin B6 showed a statistically significant difference.
Visual tests performed at the trial’s conclusion showed that those who had taken vitamin B6 supplements had higher GABA levels, confirming the theory that B6 was the cause of the decrease in anxiety. Visual performance showed minor, safe variations that were consistent with managed levels of brain activation.
Vitamin B6 is present in a wide variety of foods, such as tuna, chickpeas, and numerous fruits and vegetables. The high doses employed in this trial, however, imply that further supplements would be required to have a good impact on mood.
However, consumers may prefer nutrition-based interventions in the future because they have fewer negative side effects than medications.
