Folate: Considered brain food, folate is needed for energy production and the production of red blood cells. It may also help depression and anxiety. Folate works best when combined with vitamin B12 and vitamin C. A deficiency may be caused by inadequate consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables or eating only cooked vegetables as cooking destroys it.
Vitamin B6: Vitamin B6 is involved in more bodily functions than almost any other single nutrient. It affects both physical and mental health. It is required by the nervous system and is needed for normal brain function. A deficiency may cause acne, anorexia, arthritis, conjunctivitis, depression, dizziness, fatigue, hyperirritability, impaired wound healing, learning difficulties, weak memory, hearing difficulties, and oily facial skin.
Vitamin B12: Is needed to prevent anemia. It aids folate (folic acid) in the formation of red blood cells, and helps in the utilization of iron. It is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, synthesis of protein, metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. Vitamin B12 is linked to the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that assists in memory and learning. Deficiency can be caused by malabsorption, most common in the elderly, and those with digestive disorders. Can cause chronic fatigue, constipation, depression, dizziness, drowsiness, eye disorders, headaches, memory loss, moodiness, and spinal cord degeneration.
