Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) has some scientific evidence suggesting a potential role in modulating mood and emotional regulation, which could include symptoms such as irritability or anger. Studies have shown that vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), all of which play crucial roles in mood regulation. Deficiency in vitamin B6 has been associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms, including irritability, depression, and confusion. A few clinical trials have explored the use of vitamin B6 in treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which often includes symptoms of mood swings and anger. Some studies found that supplementation with vitamin B6 reduced irritability and emotional symptoms in women with PMS. However, the quality of evidence is variable, and most studies have focused on broader mood-related symptoms rather than anger specifically. While there is a plausible biochemical rationale and limited clinical evidence, the use of vitamin B6 specifically for excessive anger is not widely established in clinical guidelines. In summary, there is some scientific basis for the use of vitamin B6 in mood regulation, but evidence specifically targeting excessive anger is limited, and more research is needed to establish its efficacy in this context.
