B vitamins can also help with brain health, or rather the lack of them can detrimentally affect it.
Dr Brewer said: “Low levels of certain nutrients within the B complex, including B6, B12, and folate (B9), may affect how well the brain functions with ageing. Recent studies have suggested that all the nutrients in this group have a role in supporting brain health.
“They act together to enable neurons (our brain cells) to work more efficiently. B vitamins also help to remove cell waste allowing cells to function optimally.
“This waste is mainly in the form of proteins which, if left, can form clumps that are toxic to the brain.”
