We investigated the potential of vitamin B12 to mitigate anxiety in adult zebrafish subjected to chronic alcohol exposure. Our study involved exposing zebrafish to alcohol and then providing them with vitamin B12 to see if it would help reduce anxiety-related behaviors. By using a geotaxis test, we could observe how the fish responded in terms of anxiety in a controlled environment.
The effects were examined alongside oxidative stress and brain health, letting us delve into the biological changes that might occur due to both alcohol and vitamin treatment. The results indicated that chronic alcohol exposure did indeed affect brain function and behavior in the zebrafish. However, we found promising evidence that vitamin B12 operations as a neuroprotective agent, possibly offering relief from the anxiety associated with long-term alcohol use.
Our findings suggest that there may be valuable implications for using vitamin B12 in addressing anxiety related to chronic alcoholism, albeit further studies would be instrumental to fully understand its capabilities and mechanisms.

Vitamin B shows anxiety relief potential
We investigated how vitamin B might alleviate anxiety and depression caused by nicotine withdrawal in adolescent male rats.
The study compared the effects of vitamin B with bupropion, revealing that vitamin B was similarly effective in reducing withdrawal symptoms.
Notably, it also demonstrated a positive impact on antioxidant and anti-inflammatory levels, suggesting vitamin B could be a promising treatment not just for nicotine withdrawal but potentially for other conditions linked to oxidative stress.

We aimed to understand how a daily dose of 1000 mcg of vitamin B12 affects anxiety and overall symptoms in fibromyalgia patients. In a straightforward open-label study, patients took this vitamin for 50 days and completed various health questionnaires before and after the treatment.
The results revealed that vitamin B12 significantly improved both the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms and anxiety scores. This suggests that considering vitamin B12 as an additional therapy for fibromyalgia and related anxiety could be beneficial.

Reduced anxiety

Essential for a plant-based diet. While I can't confirm having a B-12 deficiency, these vitamins resolved several issues I faced. I often felt tingling and numbness, along with increased anxiety. After just one week on these lozenges, the numbness has disappeared, and my anxiety levels dropped by over 50%. They taste pleasant and dissolve quickly. I plan to continue taking these supplements to maintain my B-12 levels.

We set out to understand how Vitamin B affects behavior and brain chemistry in rats experiencing depression due to stress. In our study, 72 rats were divided into three groups: a control group, a group under stress, and a group under stress receiving Vitamin B injections.
Results showed that Vitamin B helped elevate brain chemicals associated with mood and reduced anxiety-like behaviors by improving neurochemical balance. This suggests a beneficial impact of Vitamin B on anxiety, particularly through its influence on essential neurotransmitters and the brain's supporting structures.

B12 treatment showed no significant anxiety benefit
We evaluated the effectiveness of B12, along with other B vitamins, in managing anxiety symptoms in patients suffering from Post-COVID-19 syndrome (PC19S). The PreVitaCOV trial was carefully designed as a phase IIIb study with a double-blind, placebo-controlled structure. While over half of participants showed a notable improvement in other symptoms, B12 treatment did not demonstrate significant benefits specifically for anxiety.
This highlights the need for further research into effective anxiety treatments following COVID-19 infections.
