Niacin helps alleviate anxiety symptomsAntioxidant and neuro-modulatory effects of niacin prevent D-galactose-induced behavioral deficits and memory impairment.
We examined the impact of Niacin on anxiety and memory loss caused by aging in a rat study. Rats were grouped and treated with various doses of Niacin and D-galactose for 14 days, followed by behavioral tests to assess anxiety and memory.
Our results showed that Niacin significantly reduced anxiety-like symptoms and improved memory deficits. Additionally, it mitigated factors like oxidative stress and inflammation, enhancing brain health. Overall, Niacin's antioxidant and neuro-modulatory properties suggest it may be beneficial in addressing aging-related psychiatric issues.

Vitamin B may alleviate anxietyVitamin B reversed anxiety and depression induced by adolescent nicotine withdrawal through alteration the inflammatory, oxidative and serotoninergic profiles in male rats.
We explored how vitamin B could help fight anxiety and depression linked to nicotine withdrawal in young male rats.
The study involved giving some rats nicotine before dividing them into different groups, where some were treated with vitamin B and others with bupropion—a common anxiety medication.
The results were promising, with vitamin B showing potential in reducing anxiety symptoms, comparable to bupropion. This opens the door for vitamin B as a possible new treatment option for various anxiety-related issues.

Vitamin B may alleviate anxiety symptoms[Effects of Vitamin B on Behaviors, Brain Monoamine Neurotransmitters, and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Depressive Rats].
We investigated how Vitamin B can affect anxiety and depression in a rat model facing chronic stress. Seventy-two rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a stressed group, and a stressed group receiving Vitamin B injections.
The study measured behavioral changes and key neurotransmitter levels. Results showed that Vitamin B helped restore neurotransmitter levels and improved the rats' behavior. This suggests that Vitamin B could potentially play a role in alleviating anxiety and depressive symptoms by supporting brain health.

Vitamin B aids anxiety recoveryNeuroprotective effect of vitamin B supplementation on cognitive functions and neuronal morphology at different time intervals after traumatic brain injury in male Swiss albino mice.
We explored the effects of vitamin B supplementation on anxiety and cognitive function in male Swiss albino mice following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Our research found that vitamin B appears to improve neurological impairments, enhance memory, and reduce anxiety-like behaviors.
Additionally, we saw a reduction in oxidative stress markers, indicating better neuronal health. This suggests that vitamin B not only helps with anxiety but also plays a role in recovery from cognitive dysfunctions associated with TBI.

No significant anxiety improvementFeasibility, safety and effectiveness of prednisolone and vitamin B1, B6, and B12 in patients with post-COVID-19-syndrome (PreVitaCOV) - protocol of a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre trial in primary care (phase IIIb).
Tengelmann C, Joos S, KauĂźner Y, Malzahn U, Lunden L, et al. Feasibility, safety and effectiveness of prednisolone and vitamin B1, B6, and B12 in patients with post-COVID-19-syndrome (PreVitaCOV) - protocol of a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre trial in primary care (phase IIIb). BMC Infect Dis. 2024;24:56. doi:10.1186/s12879-023-08925-2 We explored the effectiveness of vitamin B complex in treating anxiety among patients with Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PC19S) through the PreVitaCOV trial. This study involved 240 participants who were given either prednisolone, vitamin B1, B6, and B12, a combination of these treatments, or a placebo. While the trial showed high feasibility and safety, it ultimately did not demonstrate significant benefits in symptom change over placebo in anxiety or other evaluated symptoms.
