B vitamins are very very important for regulating stress and mood.
Some places you can get B-vitamins from
- mushrooms
- sugar snap peas, mangetout
- red meat (in small quantities)
My favourite B-vitamin supplements are Omnium from Solgar and also the B vitamin range from Solgar. I prefer omnium as it a balanced multi vitamin also but heavy in B vits. I take 1 tablet in the beginning/middle of a large meal – it needs insulin to force the nutrients into the cells. Plenty of water should be drank thereafter (not while eating as this disturbs digestion). If you urine is a bit yellow, this is because the excess vitamins being excreted.
Recommend dose is 1-2 tablets per week…Solgar recommend 2 per day but that is too much.
Side effects of B vitamins include problems with the nervous system and headaches. If you take b-vitamins before bedtime, you may encounter dreams and disrupted sleep.
Something I would say, is B vitamins overdose is bad.
