Vitamin Deficiencies Linked to Panic Attacks

When it first came out, I missed an important article about the link between low levels of vitamin B6 and iron in the blood of those who visited emergency rooms for panic attacks or panic-induced hyperventilation, so I want to share it with you now.  Check out this article in Healthy Holistic Living, which reports the 2013 study conducted at Okayama University.  A copy of the ground-breaking study itself, which suggests that low serum levels of B6 and iron are involved in panic attacks, is available here.  This is one of many studies that are beginning to point the way toward understanding how we eat and how our gut functions affect our emotions and well-being.
