Can vitamins REALLY have a positive effect on your mental health??
by Hope Hale on Apr 27, 2022
The answer is... ABSOLUTELY.
All of the following nutrients can have a positive effect on your mental health!
🧡 VITAMIN D 🧡 It influences the expression of over 1,000 genes that regulate mood, sleep, as well as the protection and synthesis of neurons.
There are vitamin D receptors throughout the body and brain, some of which are located in regions that influence mood, alertness, motivation, memory and pleasure. Vitamin D also regulates genes that make the feel-good brain chemicals serotonin and oxytocin.
🧡 VITAMIN B12 🧡 This plays a role in regulating mood-boosting brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, as well as stress hormones like norepinephrine. It also functions on a molecular level to aid in the detoxification of homocysteine, a neurotoxin for the brain that’s associated with depression.
🧡 MAGNESIUM 🧡 In mental health, magnesium helps to regulate the stress response and is considered to be one of nature’s mood stabilisers.
🧡 ZINC 🧡 Zinc is a trace mineral with many important roles in brain function. It also helps vitamin B6 do the best job possible of making feel-good chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.
🧡 OMEGA 3 🧡 These fatty acids contain components called DHA and EPA, both of which play an important role in brain function. They ward off inflammation, maintain brain cell health, and improve communication between brain cells. They can also help with mood regulation. And our multivitamins contain the highest quality omega 3’s made from flaxseed extract!
