Getting sufficient vitamins and minerals daily, like vitamin C and the B vitamins, as well as important minerals like magnesium, calcium and zinc is essential for your mental health.

The best way to get these necessary nutrients, however, is not with a daily multi-vitamin. Though multivitamin supplements generally contain the necessary daily requirement for nutritional needs, they are synthetic and processed and therefore not well assimilated into your system. Further, man-made and especially most isolated vitamin and mineral products may actually attack your immune system, as everything in the body depends on synergy, and this in turn will impact the functioning of the nervous system.

Get needed vitamins and minerals first from organic, whole food sources, and then, if needed, from a whole food supplement. Whole food supplements have been processed at low temperatures to keep them alive, thereby preserving oxygen and enzymes to slowly to build your immune system into vital health and enhance nervous system functioning. Included in this group are green power powders, which use fresh water single-cell algae as the principal ingredient. Even better, take blue-green algae like E3Live.
