If you have poor dream recall, you might be low on B-6. Pyridoxine is an essential B Vitamin involved in many cellular functions including red blood cell formation. It is also essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. It also plays an important role in the production of serotonin, the critical neurotransmitter which helps calm nerves and handle stress. High stress life style, such as our modern western life, puts us all short on serotonin. SSRIs or selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, such as Prozac, help increase the serotonin available between nerve synapses but do not help you make more. Being low in B-6 makes it harder for you body to manufacture serotonin, and in this day and age our body needs all the help it can get. I prefer time release at least 200mg.
