文摘

Low levels of vitamin B (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12) are common in patients with depression. Vitamin B supplementation has been shown to improve depression outcomes. The immune system plays a fundamental role in maintaining health. Over- or under-active immune system leads to disease. There is a link between a pro-inflammatory profile and depression. Anti-inflammatory cytokines improve depression. There is a clear link between vitamin B, the immune system and depression.
