One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding depression is that people still believe it's synonymous with sadness, but did you know that low vitamin B intake is a major cause for depression as well?
40% of the population is severely deficient in vitamin B12, according to the USDA.
Vitamin B deficiencies share an undeniably strong connection to depression. There have been numerous cases where symptoms of depression significantly improved when the B's were put back into balance.
If you have depression, you'll want to find out if your vitamin B levels are responsible.
However, before you take a vitamin supplement and expect to be cured, there's something you must know:
If your body doesn't have an abundant, regular supply of each B vitamin, you basically won't benefit much. This is because the B vitamins work in combination with each other, and when you don't get all of them, your body can't absorb the ones you are getting.
This article will discuss how the B vitamins affect your mental health, the signs of vitamin B deficiencies, and exactly what you need to do to reverse the problem.
*Warning Note: There are many causes of depression, including but not limited to nutrition. Nutritional deficiencies are not the sole cause for everyone's depression. This article is only meant to shed light on one of the causes, and to give you a better understanding of the B vitamins and the role they play in depression.
