DEPRESSION

Many nutrients, including magnesium are useful to prevent or reverse depression. Other nutrients that, when low can contribute to depression are : Niacinamide ( B3 ), B6, B12, (especially in older people), choline & inositol (especially manic - depression), biotin, & iron, all of which are in Complete Vitamins-Plus. Phenylalanie (found in spriulina) is an amino acid, a building block of protein, which can be converted in the body to L-dopa, norepinephrine, & epinephrine. These three compounds are involved in the functioning of the nervous system, and when low, can be responsible for causing depression.

STRESS & YOUR HEALTH

Stress of all kinds can take a toll on your health. Stress uses up all your B complex Vitamins so that you can't withstand any stress at all. Another way stress affects you is to stop your digestion and thereby prevent you being able to absorb any nutrients from your foods. The B complex vitamins, ( B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, folic acid, choline, inositol, PABA, and biotin) can help prevent stress and give you the stamina & nutrients you need to resist any further stress. The B complex vitamins always work best in a balanced complement, exactly as they are in the Complete Vitamins- Plus.
Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is often called the "stress vitamin" because it is essential for the adrenal glands to produce their hormones. Healthy & fully functioning adrenal glands support a healthy body that can withstand stress. A deficiency of B5 can also lead to Depression , Fatigue, and even Insomnia. Chromium is an important mineral for helping to overcome the effects of stress, mainly because it helps to prevent the dangerous drops in blood sugar that often accompany stress and stress reactions.

FREE RADICALS & YOUR HEALTH

Free radicals are believed to play a role in more than sixty different health conditions, including the aging process, cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune-system decline, brain dysfunction, & cataracts. Free radicals are caused by oxidation in your body. Oxidation can be the result of deficiencies of vitamins B12, B6, B3, C, E, folate ( also known as folic acid), iron or zinc. These deficiencies can mimic the damage caused by radiation, the major cause of oxidative stress in the body. Other forms of oxidative stress can come from intense exposure to sun, smoking, coffee drinking, exposure to environmental toxins, & over consumption of red meat.
