Best B Complex Vitamin for anxiety

Hi, I've heard some mention positive experiences when taking B complex vitamins as a way to lesson anxiety and depression especially when it is linked to deficiency issues.

However, I am bewildered by all the different ingredients and supposed quantities that make up the b complex. This is making it hard for me to choose a product to buy. Of course I could just get general store brand but I'm looking for something that maybe optimised for improving mental health.

Does anyone had experience with any highly regarded b complex brand /product that are helpful for improving mental health issues?

Many thanks.

I would say the B Complex is really just a generally good overall vitamin. I don't really think any vitamin is going to make you not be anxious. Especially if you're anxious about things that are supposed to make people anxious (and socializing with people you don't like in situations you find unpleasant is going to make anyone anxious).

Vitamins just make your general health better. In theory. You may be less anxious if you take vitamins but I wouldn't count on it.

I take Kirkland Super B Complex. It does not make me not anxious but I do feel better overall than I used to.
