What vitamins are good to help relieve stress?

Vitamin therapy for stress

Take a daily multiple vitamin; beginning as soon as possible if you do not already use one.

Make sure your daily vitamin intake includes 200 to 400 milligrams of magnesium, 10 to 100 milligrams of B complex vitamins and 500 to 3,000 milligrams of Vitamin C. According to studies, the magnesium blocks the damaging effects of excess adrenaline. Researchers aren't exactly clear how the B-complex vitamins and vitamin C protect the body, but studies show that the physical damage caused by stress is minimized with these vitamins.

I know B-complex works, if not how. We use it faithfully at our house, taking care not to neglect our vitamin nutrition during the holiday season. It's a point to remember during any stressful time. I recall the success of putting my husband on some extra B complex about a month before moving from one community to another. He agrees that it's something we wouldn't be without.
