Vitamin B8 and Mental Health
Vitamin B8 can help balance essential chemicals in the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin. These elements can affect your mood. Studies have shown that low levels of dopamine or serotonin are associated with compulsive disorders, anxiety, and depression. While more research is still needed, current studies indicate that vitamin B8 has some potentials to be an alternative treatment for a few mental health disorders. These include panic disorder, depression, and bipolar disorder. Compared to traditional medications, vitamin B8 seems to cause fewer side effects.[2]
