<p>These were the findings of a three-month trial, conducted by Con Stough, professor at Swimburne University of Technology, where participants were given a course of either high dose vitamin B supplements or a placebo. <br /><br />“By lowering stress, we also lower the risk of health problems such as cardiovascular disease, depression and anxiety,” Stough was quoted as saying by the journal Human Psychopharmacology. <br /><br />Researchers assessed 60 participants against factors such as personality, work demands, mood, anxiety and strain and then re-evaluated them at 30 and 90 days, said Stough, according to a Swimburne statement. “At the end of the three-month period, those in the Vitamin B group reported much lower levels of work stress than they did at the beginning of the trial,” Stough said. <br /><br />“On the other hand, those in the placebo group showed no significant change,” he added.</p>
