Vitamin
B6 has been known to reduce blood estrogen and increases progesterone. Therefore,
B6 deficiency will cause decreased liver metabolism of estrogen,
causing an excess of estrogen, this results in "estrogen
dominance."
Estrogen
imbalance effects mood swings by increasing the activity of the
biogenic amines, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin
levels,
which affect moods. Epinephrine triggers anxiety. Norepinephrine
causes hostility and irritability. Serotonin at high levels
creates nervous tension, and inability to concentrate.
Dopamine,
produced by the brain, balances out the effects of the biogenic
amines by inducing relaxation, increases mental alertness, and
works to prevent sodium and water retention.
Without
sufficient dopamine, the biogenic amines are not held in check,
moods are greatly affected in a negative manner, and sodium and
water retention increase.
Estrogen
also increases the level of the adrenal hormone aldosterone,
which prevents the normal excretion of salt from the kidneys,
adding to fluid retention. This creates edema-like symptoms of
bloating, abdominal swelling, and swollen breasts.
Excess
fluid swells the nerve tissue and membranes surrounding the
brain. The brain is encased within the skull, and can only
expand as far as the skull permits. This leads to torturous
migraine headaches that are often described as
"vise-like."
