Tap Into the Power of Serotonin

Low levels of vitamin B6, folate, and vitamin B12 help to produce brain chemicals, including serotonin, that affect mood and other brain functions, and in the case of a deficiency, can manifest in depression.

Low levels of serotonin, associated with depression, are sometimes treated with antidepressant medications that work by raising levels of serotonin. A number of studies involving B vitamins, including folate, B6, and B12, have shown that supplementing might help reduce symptoms of depression.
