4 Best Vitamins for Stress Relief

Vitamin B6

Another member of the 'anti-stress' B complex family, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an essential co-factor in several of the biochemical pathways in the adrenal stress response. The hypothalamic / pituitary / adrenal (HPA) axis modulates adrenal activity and the stress response. Vitamin B6 is important for the proper function of the HPA axis so helps to support balance and harmony.  Vitamin B6 B6 is also involved in the production and regulation of feel-good neurotransmitters; serotonin, GABA and dopamine, and supports blood sugar balance too. Chronic stress depletes B6 so it is crucial that your diet supplies plentiful levels of this nutrient during stressful times.
