Vitamin B6 is a vital nutrient which is responsible for the proper function of sixty enzymes within our bodies. Vitamin B6 contributes in the manufacturing of serotonin, which is a chemical within our brain. Vitamin B6 also plays a major part in the production of hemoglobin and cells within our immune system.

Vitamin B6 also is involved in the process of breaking down carbohydrates, and processing it to be turned into energy for our daily activities. But the decrease in vitamin B6 can also contribute to a poor nervous system. Vitamin B6 is also a helper in regulating estrogen and progesterone. Some studies report vitamin B6 is linked to cardiovascular disease in patients who tested as having low levels of vitamin B6.

The Effect of B Complex Vitamins And AutismThe two separate clinical studies were performed on children with autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and their diet. The studies were performed over the course of several months. They were gradually given increased doses of vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium. The children showed signs of decreased hyperactivity. The children’s information recorded by the doctors from the studies were gathered for as long as six months.

The diet the children recieved was rigous, and the first dose of vitamins were normal doses. With autism some believe the cause is linked to mercury poisoning; some believe this due to mercury damaging the same part of the brain as autism. You may ask how would a child receive mercury? Vacccines.

The purpose of the research was to try to detox the children to see how they would respond. In clinical settings this treatment is called megavitamin theraphy.

The group of children that were diagnosed with autism showed no signs of improvement in the clinical study. Their doses were increased a third time, and the patients showed signs of improved speaking abilities and less numerous amounts of tantrums. The downside of children receiving such large amounts of vitamins was bed wetting.
