How to Handle Stress by Taking B-Complex Vitamins

Stress is unavoidable, especially in our fast paced world. We all have problems, and we all have stress. However, we can control how stress affects our health by how we handle stressful situations. When we are calm and optimistic we can get through hard times much better. There are also vitamin supplements that can help us to deal with stress in addition to giving us more energy. Our body needs a good balance of B-vitamins in order to maintain good health. These vitamins are most effective when they are combined together in a B-complex formula.

What is a B-Complex Formula?

A B-complex formula is a combination of all the essential B-vitamins such as Thiamin (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (Vitamin B2), Niacin, Vitamin B-6, Folic Acid, Vitamin B-12, Biotin, and Pantholenic acid, (Vitamin B5). You can also buy each B-vitamin individually in higher doses as well. Some people need to take additional B-5 for skin conditions, or extra B-12 for fatigue.

Dosage

When you buy a B-complex formula look at the label so that you know how much of each B-vitamin you will be getting. A good dosage is 50 mg of each of the B-vitamins. Many well known name brand vitamins only contain very small amounts of what is needed. Buy your vitamins from a local health food store or on line. There are so many great choices available.

How Do B-vitamins help with Stress?

B-vitamins help the body deal with stress in so many ways. First of all, B vitamins, especially B-12 help to improve the function of our nervous system. When our nervous is healthy we are better able to handle the responses that stress puts on our body. We will naturally have more energy and become more productive.

People who are tired are not able to deal with stress as well because it puts an extra burden on the body. B-vitamins improve energy levels and reduce stress when they are taken on a daily basis. The vitamins help our body deal adrenaline (stress hormone) in a more efficient way.

B-vitamins support the function of neurotransmitters in the brain that help to regular feel good hormones such as serotonin. This is why B-vitamins help us to have a more positive outlook on life.
