matters needing attention

Here I would like to remind you that vitamin B supplementation is beneficial to the treatment of depression. Vitamin B can help the metabolism of amino acids in the body and has a great effect on the nervous system. The study found that if the blood of patients with depression contains more vitamin B12, the effect of patients after treatment is more significant. If the body of elderly patients contains more vitamin B1, B2 and B6, the treatment effect is significantly better than that of general depression patients.
