B6 Deficiency

"Researchers at Tufts University have suggested deficient vitamin B6 levels across large sections of the US population which could be reduced via supplementation."

Their study found that 3/4 of women on the pill who were not taking B6 supplements were deficient. Women of childbearing age are also at risk. I was told by a doctor once that taking a B6 supplement would help with PMS because it helped regulate sex hormone levels.

B6 is important for your heart and immune system. Deficiencies can cause anemia. Take care of yourself!
