Return To Depression Article Archive   B Vitamins Depression Treatment - Facts about B Vitamins Depression By John Gibb What are B vitamins? B vitamins can be described as a group of 8 vitamins and are water soluble. They are important in cell metabolism. Each of them is unique and often found in groups in foods. In a supplement form they are called Vitamin B Complex. Individually, they are referred to by name - for example B1, B2, and B3 to mention just a few. They are a coenzyme that is important in bio-chemical reactions such as those needed for energy that comes from food. B Vitamins are also known by other names. They are listed below. B1- Thiamine B2- Riboflavin B3- Niacin (also Vitamin P or vitamin PP) B5- Pantothenic Acid B6- Pyroxidine B7- Biotin (also Vitamin H) B9- Folic Acid (also Vitamin M and Vitamin B-c) B12- Cobalamin There are benefits to using B vitamins (for) Depression. Together they ward off symptoms of stress, depression, and cardio vascular disease. They also boost metabolism and promote healthy skin and hair. They are known to support cell growth and metabolism including red blood cells, and may also prevent anemia. B vitamins are also water soluble as mentioned and spread throughout the body. B vitamins must be replaced daily because they are excreted through urine. The B vitamins come from a variety of natural sources. They are found in foods such as potatoes, bananas, lentils, tuna, liver, and turkey. They are also found in molasses and Nutritional Yeast and these are excellent sources. There is Brewer's Yeast in beer and so beer is a very good source of B vitamins. The alcohol however lessens the ability of the body's ability to activate vitamins. B vitamins are also put into energy drinks. Vitamins can also be found in a wide variety of natural supplements. In order to be sure that you are getting the highest quality supplement they should first of all, have had the ingredients' metabolic paths at the molecular level and the interaction of the ingredients tested. What this means for you, the consumer, is that the supplement is as pure as possible and has the ingredients in it that it says it does. Secondly, they should be of pharmaceutical grade quality. Depression is treatable, sometimes lasting only a short time or possibly lasting throughout a person's lifetime. Treatments can be the use of traditional (western) medications.
