Symptom #9: Mood Changes
If you have lately started experiencing unexplained mood changes, a deficiency in vitamin B6 might be the culprit to consider. This is because vitamin B6 is involved in the production of the chemical substances known as neurotransmitters, such as GABA and serotonin.
These two chemicals play crucial roles in promoting the body’s psychological balance as they are involved in controlling anxiety and depression. For example, studies have reported how an intake of between 50 mg and 80 mg of vitamin B6 daily was effective in controlling premenstrual symptoms associated with mood changes in women. You should, therefore, ensure that you take adequate amounts of this important nutrient to keep your moods high and stable.
