Proper thyroid function is of key importance for our mental health. Thyroid producing too much or too small quantities of hormones consequenty leads to hormonal imbalance which causes the whole body to function improperly. It’s the following compounds that are vital for our mental health: folic acid, vitamin B1 (tiamin), vitamins B3, B6 B12 . They all work together to ensure normal mental function, Iodine and zinc do their work to enhance cognitive function. Alongside the mentioned functions, folic acid and vitamins B3, B6 and B12 also minimise fatigue and exhaustion. Choline has proven itself as very useful to maintain cognitive, psychological and mental health (anxiety and other mood disorders), mostly combined with vitamin B complex, achieving a synergic effect.
Together with the essential mineral iodine, selenium is also involved and required for adequate thyroid hormone synthesis, activation, and metabolism. Vitamin D in the human body is extremely important in the process of cell division and contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, which is particularly important for people who suffer from autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto).
