1. Vitamin B Complex

B vitamins—thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, biotin, folate, and cobalamin—are necessary for energy synthesis and neuronal function. They regulate stress hormones including cortisol and adrenaline, aiding the neurological system during stress.

2. Vitamin C

Vitamin C fights chronic stress-induced oxidative damage as an antioxidant. It helps the adrenal glands, which create stress hormones, and the immune system, which can be weakened by stress.

3. Vitamin D

Vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin," regulates mood. Vitamin D deficiency can cause sadness and anxiety, therefore getting enough may reduce stress and enhance health.

4. Vitamin E

Another powerful antioxidant, vitamin E protects cells from stress-induced oxidative damage. It promotes immunological function and may prevent chronic stress-related inflammation.

5. Magnesium

Magnesium, the "relaxation mineral," helps nerves and muscles relax. Controlling stress hormone release and calming the body helps regulate the stress response.

6. Omega-3

Although not vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, have mood-stabilizing qualities. They might alleviate stress and anxiety by reducing brain inflammation and supporting neurotransmitter activity.

7. Zinc

Over 300 enzymatic processes in the body include zinc, including stress and immunological function. Healthy stress response and resilience require adequate zinc levels.
