Getting enough vitamin C has surprising effect
on mood, reveal investigators in The American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition. When C-deficient hospital
patients were given 500 mg of the vitamin daily for 8 days,
they experience a 71 percent reduction in symptoms
such as irritabillity, fatique and sadness and a 51 percent
decrease in anxiety. The study authors explain that
vitamin C is critical for maintaining balance in the
brain chemicals that govern our emotional response
to stress.
