Taking B6 and B3 with Tryptophan helps Serotonin synthesis. GABA Relaxer contains effective amounts of B3 and B6.
If I take all the vitamin B's together in a complex then I feel more anxious. I don't know why, I have read about this happening to other people as well.
B6 is specifically needed for Serotonin synthesis and if you don't get enough B3 then the body uses Trytophan to make B3 (niacin) at an alarmingly high ratio.
The Niacinamide in GABA Relaxer is a form of Vitamin B-3 and it is important in the production of certain brain chemicals. In large doses, it has a calming effect.
So to answer your question I don't take a B complex I take specific vitamin B's to help with the relief of anxiety and those specific ones are found in GABA Relaxer.
