The best way to get B12 is through natural food sources when possible. Naturally, vitamin B12 is present in animal products including eggs. Considering that B12 plays a role in nerve growth and brain cells, it makes sense to link the vitamin to mood regulation. B12 produces brain chemicals responsible for better mood – and this can help treat depression, stress, and other anxiety disorders. This is why one of the symptoms of B12 deficiency involves mood swings.
