The stress hormones rely on certain nutrients for their production. For adrenalin you need enough of vitamins B3 (niacin), B12 and C. Cortisol, wich is also a natural anti-inflammatory substance, cannot be produced without enough vitamin B5 (patothenic acid). Your need for all these nutrients, along with those needed for energy production such as vitamins B and C, goes up with prolonged stress.
