Mustard is rich in vitamin B6- which is part of the B complex of vitamins.

Vitamin B6 is an essential component of the digestive process as it is required for the production of hydrochloric acid in your stomach and for the production of magnesium in our bodies( magnesium will also raise the levels of HCI (hydrochloric acid) in your stomach and aid in digestion.)

Without vitamin B6, B12 can never be functionalized properly and nor can iron since they work in conjunction with each other.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6 these items may include~ fish, brewer's yeast, wheat bran, wheat germ, liver, cantaloupe, rice, eggs, oats, peanuts and walnuts.

If for some reason you can not eat these foods you may want to consider a multi-vitamin.

The B vitamins are a water soluble complex this means that we can consume them in excess and excrete whatever our body doesn't use. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer from the side affects including night muscle spasms, leg cramps, hand and feet numbness, prickling and tingling sensations, dry mouth and excessive urination problem and nausea and vomiting.

Things that may be causing your lack of B6 currently include antidepressants, antibiotics, cold and flu medicines, laxatives, diuretics, aspirin, some oral contraceptives, estrogen supplementation, alcohol, caffeine, sodas and soft drinks.
