Vitamine B-Complex

The most common nutritional deficiency in the world is folic acid deficiency, which is characterized by low mood, and can lead to moodiness, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, muscular weakness, and sore or dry mouth and tongue. Deficiency in either vitamins B-12 or B-6 can also bring about low mood, and often mask folic acid deficiency (which is why it is so important to take a supplement that is a complete B-complex). In fact, foliate supplementation, which in large doses requires a doctor's prescription, is a long standing treatment in some cases of depression. B vitamins are not stored well in the body and are depleted rapidly in dieters, and caffeine and alcohol users. Those following a vegan diet must also pay particular attention to their B-12 intake, which can become dangerously low and result in serious illness.
