Research suggests that vitamin B6 may help prevent mood disorders, such as depression. For a quick and easy vitamin B6 fix, add a banana to your breakfast cereal. One medium banana contains almost a milligram of this nutrient. Vitamin B6 helps your body break down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. It's also an essential part of red blood cell formation and antibody production. In addition to bananas, food sources of vitamin B6 include chicken, tomato paste, sweet potatoes, sunflower seeds, and most red meats. Search our Recipe Finder for recipes rich in vitamin B6.

Before taking any supplements, talk to your doctor about possible treatment interactions.
