In this article,the authors explore the breadth and depth of published research linking dietary vitamins
and minerals(micronutrients)to mood.Since the 1920s,there have been many studies on individual
vitamins(especially B vitamins and Vitamins C,D,and E),minerals(calcium,chromium,iron,
magnesium,zinc,and selenium),and vitamin-like compounds(choline).Recent investigations with
multi-ingredient formulas are especially promising.However,without a reasonable conceptual frame-
work for understanding mechanisms by which micronutrients might influence mood,the published
literature is too readily dismissed.Consequently,4 explanatory models are presented,suggesting that
mood symptoms may be expressions of inborn errors of metabolism,manifestations of deficient
methylation reactions,alterations of gene expression by nutrient deficiency,and/or long-latency defi-
ciency diseases.These models provide possible explanations for why micronutrient supplementation
could ameliorate some mental symptoms.
