What vitamins, when taken daily, can help to elevate your mood?

Answer:
Hey Stephanie, the B complex group of vitamins is you best bet. The girl before me says B12 so I agree with her there.The B complex group of vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 - are a water soluble group of vitamins and need to be replenished in our bodies on a daily basis. The human body can neither store or produce these vitamins. When we are in stress situations our bodies will naturally use up more of these vitamins. Don't worry if you have to take 3 or even 4 per day if you are really stressed because any excess you take will simply be excreted by the body. Don't buy these vitamins individually as they work best synergistically, as a group. Expect to pay around $30.00 AUD for about 125 tablets. Don't buy synthetic vitamins, the really cheap ones, as they are notoriously hard to digest. Just ask the chemist which ones are a really good quality for you to buy. They are usually called Executive Stress B, or sometimes Mega B vitamins. Also you need to increase your intake of foods rich in this vitamin. ie: yeast, liver, eggs, milk, cheese and fish, kidney and pork.Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. In the human diet B12 is supplied primarily by animal products, since plant products usually dont contain it. Sea vegetables such as Kelp, Nori and Spirulina probably being one of the few exceptions. Spirulina tablets are a good source of B12 too.Symptoms of deficiency in B12 that you may be suffering are inability to concentrate, irritability, moodiness, impaired balance, fatigue and exhaustion, dizziness, depression, chest pains, heart palpitations, head and hand sweats, nausea and vomiting, numbness and tingling in the outer extremities and prickling sensations!! Not nice is it??Honestly, I have 3 little children (school age) at home and a workaholic husband who are constantly trying to get away with eating only junk food at half of their meals!! Each time one has a tummy ache, headache, feels nauseus, moody, irritable, exhausted, its inevitably due to them avoiding eating their lunch or eating only chips and sauce for a meal!! I know it's tempting to do when you are rushed and under pressure but you really do need to pay more attention to your nutritional needs or your body will just start complaining by showing symptoms such as you are describing.If you do decide to take my advice you'll be so pleased you did as you will get almost immediate release from your symptoms, within an hour or two!! CHEERS

Yes, the B vitamins support mood. But also add Amino Acids into your regimen, especially Mega 3 for brain food.Personally, my neurotransmitters all were low until I began tryptophan and 5 htp. I started using these amino acids in January during a severe depression, and they helped very quickly. Each person requires a different amount, so you have to experiment to find the level you need.
