Vitamin B6 improves cognitive functionThe possible beneficial effects of higher vitamin B6 intake from diet on cognitive function of patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
We conducted an intriguing study that looked into how vitamin B6 affects cognitive function in patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD). This autoimmune disorder often brings along cognitive challenges, so understanding potential dietary influences could be beneficial.
By surveying 24 NMOSD patients at Sina Hospital in Tehran, we gathered detailed dietary habits through a comprehensive food frequency questionnaire. The cognitive abilities of participants were assessed using the Minimal Assessment of Cognitive Function in Multiple Sclerosis (MACFIMS) battery, which allowed us to evaluate their mental performance thoroughly.
Our findings were particularly interesting: we observed a positive correlation between the amount of dietary vitamin B6 consumed and cognitive function. Specifically, higher intake was linked to better performance in verbal and learning memory, as well as working memory and processing speed. This suggests that boosting vitamin B6 intake might help enhance cognitive functioning in NMOSD patients, which is encouraging given the prevalence of cognitive issues in this group.
Overall, our study opens up promising pathways for dietary intervention in managing cognitive impairment related to autoimmune disorders like NMOSD.

Superb product, with numerous benefits, presented in easy-to-swallow capsules. I've experienced great success over many years using this product alongside equal amounts of vitamin B2, as they complement each other well. I’ve never encountered any side effects, as I also take magnesium and various other supplements to ensure all necessary co-factors are present. It's a safe product with no unnecessary additives, and the value is excellent. After using it, I noticed numerous symptoms of Chronic Fatigue vanish, making it an essential component of my supplement arsenal, particularly if you're a woman, have any autoimmune disorder, diabetes, or stress issues. Well-packaged and sealed in glass bottles. Solgar supplements truly have been a lifesaver at a superb price.
