A really good example of a vitamin that our body essentially needs is Vitamin A. More than giving you good eyesight, vitamin A does a lot in ensuring that your body stays in good shape. It also stimulates the production and activity of white blood cells, at the same time, taking part in remodeling bone. Aside from those mentioned, Vitamin A also maintains the health of endothelial cells (the ones lining the body’s interior surfaces), regulates cell growth and division which was found to be lowering the risk of cancer.

It's pretty remarkable. Carrot juice made fresh is similar to that but its beta carotene, the vegetable form.

I think when I take super vit B complex it helps make me feel more balanced.I notice a bit more energy I think.I have a juicer but never feel like juicing,plus it can get expensive.

I take a lot of supplements, but none which I chose specifically for SA, I just started a health overhaul about a year ago. The two that I've definitely noticed a difference in my general health and well being are Coenzyme q10 and Evening primrose oil.
Coenzyme q10 has helped because it gives me tons more energy, which is something that is 'zapped' from me everyday because of nervous tension.

Evening Primrose Oil was recommended by someone for PMT (I get seriously cranky, and SA becomes worse..........clearly they had noticed!!), and after taking it for a while I felt a lot more calm and less irrational during 'that time'.

I've tried many different 'tinctures' for nervousness, which have had no effect whatsoever.
My research continues!

Over the years I haven't found any great advantage to supplements other than bee pollen. Especially in the bulk form rather than the pill form.

They did nothing for me. Except iron when I was anemic. But that didn't really influence my depression / anxiety. Just made me look and feel better (more skin colour and energy).

Keeping healthy throughout life is nearly everyone's goal, although at times it seems a very difficult goal to achieve. Taking vitamin supplements help keep you strong and help to increase your resistant system's ability to fight off sickness and disease. Without an adequate supply of vitamins people get sick more often and for longer periods of time.
