For years, researchers have studied the significant benefits that both vitamin C and D have on the body. These vitamins have been shown countless times to help reduce illnesses and viral infections, increase protection against heart problems, and facilitate overall health of the body.
New research now suggests these two nutrients, in tandem, might help reduce the instances of mood swings.
During the study, published in the journal Nutrition, Dr. John Hoffer, professor of medicine at McGill University, Canada and his team found there was a 34-percent reduction in mood scores and disturbances. Most patients that began taking the vitamin C supplements became much calmer and less prone to mood swings.
The study was later examined to determine if the vitamin C had an actual biological effect on the brain by giving patients vitamin D as an additional supplement. Those that were given vitamin D in addition to the vitamin C supplements “benefited substantially”:
Subclinical deficiencies of vitamin C and D have each been linked to psychological abnormalities…the treatment is safe, simple and cheap, and could have major clinical practice implications.
Adding these vitamins to one’s daily diet is essential for overall health and those suffering with mood issues, including depression and pregnancy should incorporate vitamin C into their daily to gain a vast improvement and regulation over their moods.
