Eating Marmite could reduce stress, anxiety and depression thanks to high levels of a vitamin contained in it, according to a new study.
Scientists at the University of Reading measured the potential calming effect of Vitamin B6, which increases the body's production of GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), a chemical that blocks impulses between nerve cells in the brain.
Young adults who took high doses of Vitamin B6 every day for a month felt less anxious and depressed than before the experiment, according to the paper, published in the journal Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental on Tuesday, July 19.
