Study finds vitamins boost mental health - National - NZ Herald News: "People with mental illness made 'remarkable' improvements by taking a daily dose of nutritional supplements rather than conventional medicines, a trial has found.
The work by a Canterbury University clinical psychologist has shown the potential that consumption of the right micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, could have for helping a range of mental health problems.
Many who took part in a trial with Associate Professor Julia Rucklidge showed improvements they had not shown under prescription drugs.
Dr Rucklidge said it should come as no surprise that micronutrients could affect psychiatric symptoms, as they were essential for the inner workings of the brain."
