Gamers should take six vitamins to combat health risks sparked by spending so much time playing in their bedrooms, experts say.
Reports suggest the average shoot-em-up fan spends nine hours a week huddled in front of a screen.

Boffins say that exposes them to a variety of dangers including vitamin D deficiency from spending so long out of the sun and joint pain from holding their controllers.

Experts at gaming giant SolitaireBliss have compiled a vitamin and supplement guide they claim can lead to `heightened performance levels’ while `staying safe and healthy.

They recommend players take Vitamin D for missing out on sunlight, melatonin substitutes to aid sleep, magnesium products to quieten brain activity between gaming sessions, and Vitamin A to revive tired eyes.

Taking fish oils and glucosamine tablets can combat the physical dangers of too much controller use - reducing joint pain and preventing cartilage breakdowns which can trigger arthritis.
A SolitaireBliss spokesman said: "While there are incredible benefits of being a gamer, whether professional or just for fun, it is essential not to neglect and ignore issues that might arise.

"Taking the correct vitamins can not only be highly beneficial to a gamer's mental state, but they can also help to increase concentration and boost energy after spending a long time looking at a screen.

"There are numerous benefits to taking the right vitamins such as improvements in energy levels, increased strength of hand-eye coordination, and prolonged concentration levels.
"Vitamins are especially ideal for gamers who require an energy boost but do not want the slump or after lag experienced after drinking energy drinks or caffeinated substances.’’
