In this episode of Daily Value, we look at the influence of B vitamins on mental health and neuropsychiatric disorders. The discussion is centered around a recently published meta-analysis suggesting a causal link between B vitamin deficiencies and the development of conditions such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. Talking points include the distinct impacts of vitamins B12, B6, and B9 (folate) on brain health, their role in one-carbon metabolism, and findings from various studies on their protective effects.
