Vitamin B12 works by assisting production of neurotransmitters, chemicals involved in elevating mood (dopamine and serotonin) so is especially useful in aiding anxiety and depression. It also helps lower homocysteine (see B-complex, above) so may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, many elderly people are deficient in B12, as their stomachs may have trouble absorbing the small amounts in food.
Vitamin B12 may also help people whose sleep rhythms are disturbed. This can happen in depression, SAD syndrome, shift work and jet-lag. B12 works by improving the production of melatonin, the hormone we naturally secrete during sleep/darkness.
