For many different reasons the senior population suffers from higher than normal states of depression. Recently a study revealed that the B vitamins B6 and B12 were associated with being protective against depression over time, in this vulnerable demographic.
Vitamins B6 and B12 are essential nutrients required in the synthesis of many neurotransmitters including serotonin, melatonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and GABA, which are brain chemicals that help modulate mood, our emotional state and sleep.
