RESCUE your mood from a FREE FALL with this ‘vitamin trick’
We’ve all got plenty of reasons to be AGITATED these days.
But if those feelings of IRRITATION seem to have come out of NOWHERE…
And there’s no “talking it out”…
Your mood issues might not just be “in your head.”
Of course, mental health is often a PHYSICAL issue…
And, in some cases, a mood that’s sent into a tailspin… often quickly, and without warning… could be a sign of a nutritional deficiency.
Here’s the “vitamin trick” that could help LEVEL OUT feelings that have started to take a NOSEDIVE.
Thiamine is another name for one of the B vitamins – specifically, the FIRST one to be identified, vitamin B1.
You might not think about it much… if your levels of it are already PERFECT…
But a thiamine deficiency could cause some MAJOR problems.
Thiamine is CRUCIAL to the function of your nervous system…
And PLUMMETING levels of it have been associated with neurological issues, like delirium.
It’s no surprise, then, that one of the FIRST red flags that your thiamine levels might be dipping too low is feeling irritable or depressed … and other signs that your mood is in the TOILET.
And research has revealed that not getting enough thiamine is associated with a GREATER risk of depression and stress.
But the good news is that the MORE thiamine you get… the MORE that risk GOES DOWN!
In fact, the science shows that supplementing with thiamine could help…
- STABILIZE mood
- RELIEVE depression
- IMPROVE attitude, and
- BOOST morale.
And it may work by helping to BALANCE levels of certain brain chemicals, called neurotransmitters…
Like serotonin… a.k.a. the “happy hormone,” which is also targeted by some of Big Pharma’s antidepressant drugs…
And GABA… a.k.a. the brain’s “off switch,” which helps CHASE AWAY stress and anxiety.
Now, folks in the crosshairs for becoming deficient in thiamine include those a little on the older side…
And patients with trouble absorbing nutrients because of conditions like peptic ulcer… or a history of bariatric surgery.
Your doc can run a simple blood test to check your levels.
There’s something else you should know…
To convert thiamine into a form it can actually USE… your body needs yet another nutrient that acts as a “co-factor.”
Magnesium!
So, even if you’re getting PLENTY of thiamine in your diet… like from raw Macadamia nuts, which provide 80% of the Recommended Daily Intake…
It could all be USELESSif you’re low on this miracle mineral (which, by the way, offers its own mood benefits).
Be sure to keep your levels of BOTH of these from dipping too low…
Ideally by taking supplements.
And you can do better than the generic vitamin B1 tablets you’ll find at the drug store, too…
Because there’s a more bioavailable version of thiamine on the market, called benfotiamine… which could also benefit mood.
It’s fat-soluble… meaning it doesn’t dissolve in water… so you’ll need to take it with food.
