This is the master vitamin in the processing of amino acids—the building blocks of all proteins and some hormones. It helps to make and take apart many amino acids and is also needed to make serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine. It aids in the formation of several neurotransmitters and is therefore an essential nutrient in the regulation of mental processes and possibly mood.
While surfing the web this morning, I saw a post from a lady with Type 2 Diabetes who says she’s tried everything and can’t lose weight. She said “I exercise 2-3 hours a day and eat right.

When you don’t eat enough calories your body goes into starvation mode and stores what you do eat to use as fuel later.
