New research indicates that several B vitamins may be the gateway to discovering more about the brain’s power and functions as well as detecting mental health issues.
 
Lindsay Allen, a U.S. Department of Agriculture nutritionist, reports that low levels of the B vitamins, folate, are associated with dementia symptoms and “cognitive decline” in brain function.

Results of a cell study, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, found a link between vitamin D levels and the activity of certain allergy associated immune cells. Vitamin D may inhibit an allergic response in asthmatics to a common mold, suggests a new study from the US supporting the vitamin’s immune health effects.
According to [...]

Canadian researchers at the University of Montreal discovered that vitamin B3 can treat drug resistant fungal infections that attack individuals with compromised immunity and can lead to death. Fungal infections that include Candida, Apsergillus are resistant to current drug therapy.  This study found vitamin B3 has broad antifungal properties.
 
Patients with diminished immune system function, including [...]

A world renowned researcher believes that Vitamin K may be “the next vitamin D” if research continues to determine its increasing benefits for your health.
 
Cees Vermeer, Ph.D, one of the world’s renowned researchers in the field of vitamin K,  in 1975 created a vitamin K research group, which is now the largest group investigating this [...]

For most people, over time, during the latter decades of life, their immune system function declines.
 
Tocotrienols, a form of vitamin E may enhance the function of certain cells in the immune system, and help ensure healthy immune system functioning.
 
 The study recently published in the Journal of Nutrition. “This is the first study, to our knowledge, [...]

Researchers have found that higher vitamin B6 levels is linked with a 50 per cent reduction in the risk of developing lung cancer in a study involving over 400,000 people, including former and current smokers.  Also, high levels of methionine, an amino, also contributes to a lower risk.
 
The study authors wrote in the Journal of [...]

Researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found that for every 10 milligram increase in the vitamin B6 intake and for every 10 microgram increase in vitamin B12 there was a 2 percent per year decrease in the risk of developing depression symptoms. 
 
Previous studies have associated a lower risk of infection to vitamin B [...]

Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan have determined that niacin or vitamin B3 after a stroke may help to improve neurological function.
 
Animals with a stroke were given niacin, their brains experienced the growth of new nerve cells and blood vessels, which improved their brain function.
 
The researchers are now planning to investigate the effects [...]

Researchers at two universities, Cornell and Harvard conducted a study that determined among women 45 years and beyond, the regular consumption of vitamin E decreased the risk of developing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) also known as emphysema by approximately 10% in smokers and non-smokers
 
COPD is a major cause of lung disease and disability.  In [...]

 
Here’s a very informative study, that shows how results can lead to unfounded conclusions and mislead you into a false assumption.  While there’s a voluminous number of scientific studies that clearly demonstrate the role vitamin deficiency states play in the development of cancer, this study suggests otherwise.  Research studies from time to time have been [...]
