One of the most challenging tasks is identifying all the chemical interactions inside the human body. The interplay of vitamins and neurotransmitters is an intriguing topic to study to understand the body-brain relationship better. Schizophrenia is a severe brain disorder in which neurotransmitters play a crucial role. We find significantly less study to investigate the linkage between the two in schizophrenia. This study attempted to determine the link between various vitamins found in our daily diet and neurotransmitters in our brain that are important for optimal mental functioning, focusing on schizophrenia. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the relevant literature, examined the significance of vitamins in the human body, and paid attention to those essential for proper brain growth. We also studied the linkage of neurotransmitters and their alterations due to the influence of vitamins in schizophrenia patients. Our study finds that vitamin E has a subtle effect on the dysfunction of serotonin and glutamate, and vitamin D affects dopamine. These findings prove the association of vitamin intake and its effect on the onset of schizophrenia, influencing the responsible neurotransmitters. To our best knowledge, this is the first study to examine the most relevant literature and present these findings, which may improve the understanding of the neuroscience domain and help further research.
