Experts have linked vitamin B6 deficiency to anxiety, stress and depression, and, as women, we need more B6 as we get older. “When B6 reaches your brain, it facilitates the synthesis of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, which makes you feel calm and happy,” says Hanjo Hellmann, PhD, a plant biologist from Washington State University in the US. “But if you have a B6 deficiency, your brain may be unable to make enough dopamine.” According to health organisation Nutrition Australia, good sources of B6 include fish, beef, chicken, leafy green vegetables, avocados and potatoes.
