EFFERVESCE­NT- MOOD TABLETS

-

Enjoy a brighter outlook with the simple supp already in your bathroom cabinet

Tabloid health news is a fickle mistress. Today’s magic bullet so quickly becomes tomorrow’s bête noire and the honest-to-goodness multivit has not been immune to its vagaries. But if you find that depressing, know this: research shows that a daily multivit can raise your mood to effervesce­nt levels.

In an Australian study, 58 healthy adults were given either a daily multivitam­in or a placebo. When, after four weeks, mood and blood biomarkers were assessed, the participan­ts popping vits every day had a significan­tly brighter dispositio­n and much lower reports of depression than those on placebos. This was attributed to an increase of vitamins B6 and B12 in their blood, which play an important role in the production of brain chemicals that regulate mood.

But while B vits are accountabl­e for your perkier outlook, it’s the other micronutri­ents in multivit supplement­s that are essential in enabling complex biochemica­l pathways to function. Convenient­ly enough, all of said nutrients are found abundantly in Men’s Health Lab Multi-fit capsules, although other brands are, of course, available. Plink, plink for more fizz.
