B Vitamins
B Vitamins and Nervous System Support
While each B vitamin has its own unique role, they work synergistically to support normal nervous system function and overall well-being. B vitamins contribute to various processes, including energy metabolism and the synthesis of important compounds involved in brain function.
B1 (Thiamine):
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports the normal functioning of the nervous system. It plays a role in maintaining normal psychological function and contributes to the production of neurotransmitters.
B2 (Riboflavin):
Involved in energy production and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It supports normal nervous system function and the maintenance of normal red blood cells, which aid in oxygen transport.
B3 (Niacin, Nicotinamide):
Contributes to normal psychological function and energy-yielding metabolism. Niacin is important for reducing tiredness and supporting the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes.
B5 (Pantothenic Acid):
Supports the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D, and some neurotransmitters. It also contributes to normal mental performance and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
B6 (Pyridoxine):
Contributes to normal energy metabolism, psychological function, and the reduction of tiredness. It is involved in normal homocysteine metabolism and the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, which support mental well-being.
B7 (Biotin):
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, as well as the maintenance of normal skin and hair. It also plays a role in supporting normal nervous system function.
B9 (Folate):
Contributes to normal psychological function, the reduction of tiredness, and normal homocysteine metabolism. It is important for normal blood formation and the synthesis of amino acids.

Prebiotics & Probiotics
There is a complex relationship between the gut microbiota (the bacteria living in the gastrointestinal tract) and the central nervous system, with two-way communication occurring between the gut and the brain. This relationship, often referred to as the Gut-Brain Axis, involves the vagus nerve, the hormonal system, and the immune system. Emerging research suggests that the gut microbiome can influence various aspects of health, including mood and cognitive function. Probiotics (live cultures), prebiotics (fibre that feeds probiotics), and digestive enzymes play a role in supporting digestive health, and may contribute to overall well-being.

MA UKCP Psychotherapist
Emma Cohn
There is a mental health crisis and the NHS are understandably overwhelmed and challenged coping the diagnosis backlog. With long waiting times and often people not meeting the threshold to get initial appointments, this leaves a lot of people having to cope alone. Even if they are fortunate enough to be assessed by a psychiatrist and receive treatment, medication is often suggested and side effects may vary from person to person.
I have worked with many neurodivergent people who are experiencing challenges. A natural supplement that is accessible to all could be life changing to many people and I am very much looking forward to Divergence Supplements launching.
