Vitamin B Complex
supports healthy nervous system function and strengthens the body to help during periods of stress and anxiety. Vitamin B complex contains eight B vitamins as well as a couple of other related substances. The eight vitamins are thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6), cyanocobalamin (B12), folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin. The other related substances that can also be in the B complex vitamin include choline bitartrate, inositol and vitamins C and E. I must say here that I am a great fan of inositol for anxiety relief as I know it works for me.
Every part of this complex vitamin has it’s own exclusive purpose but it is when they work together as the Vitamin B Complex that it offers important maintenance for the body to remain healthy. The B vitamin complex contains B vitamins which are water-soluble and it is important that enough of these vitamins are consumed on a daily basis. The body cannot store water soluble vitamins such as this one and this leads to a frequent intake being required.
The B complex vitamins are extremely beneficial for a number of conditions and may be necessary in extra amounts at certain times in a persons life. Many individuals suffer from anxiety and stress at one time or another and research has found that the B complex vitamin can be advantageous in helping alleviate the symptoms. If a person has been unwell the B complex vitamin can also be very valuable in aiding the recovery process and can help ease general tiredness and sluggishness.
There are a number of herbs that can be combined with Vitamin B Complex for anxiety relief. These include Valarian Root, Passion Flower and St Johns Wort which all help with relaxation which can reduce stress levels.

Very informative post! I have found St Johns Wort does assist me in times of stress or anxiety. I was very sick during my pregnancies and was told this could be from a lack of Vit B so perhaps I am low… I did not know it was also good for stress levels.
To the point and an excellent article.
I tried everything under the sun for anxiety and depression, except Vit B complex, because my blood levels were fine… in the end after spending years and thousands i tried a liquid vit b to get the folic acid as i am trying to conceive atm and it is nothing short of a miracle, my anxiety has gone down from a level 6 on daily basis to a almost zero, i am happier, i have more energy but best thing is i am not losing my temper or patience with people because i feel better on the inside…. Vitamin B complex (i prefer liquid form) should be prescribed to anxiety/depression ppl to see if majority are helped!!! such a pity for ppl to suffer when they dont need to, i lost a lot of opportunities to enjoy life when i was riddled with anxiety and low mood and now i will not stop taking the vit b because it is my miracle!
Stephania I am glad you had great success with using vitamin B complex as I have done. I hope more people try it and see how it can work for them.
Dropping by just to say Have a Happy Healthy Holidays to you and your family!
Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to you.
All the best!
By the way, great post. I have lately begun to feel edges of anxiety on some days — something very new for me. I will try pumping up my vitamin B complex intake for sure! Thanks for the info!
