Supplements:[edit]

AMINO ACIDS:[edit]

L-Carnitine:[edit]

- Low levels associated with depression[1]

SAMe :[edit]

- A number of nutraceuticals, including SAMe, Saffron, and high dose MACA may improve Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions (AISD)'s [2]


MINERALS[edit]

Lithium orotate:[edit]

- For bipolar disorder[3]: 

VITAMINS:[edit]

vitamin D[edit]

- Increased circulating 25(OH)D concentrations following 8-week vitamin D supplementation (50,000 IU 2wks−1) resulted in a significant decrease in BDI-II scores in patients with mild to moderate depression. However, this effect was independent of the serum concentrations of the studied inflammatory biomarkers. [4]

FATTY ACIDS:[edit]

Fish Oil:[edit]

- EPA 4 g/d in MDD demonstrated a medium effect size for response rates versus placebo in overweight individuals with elevated inflammatory markers, and change in hs-CRP may be correlated with clinical response. [5]

HORMONAL SUPPLEMENTS[edit]

Progesterone[edit]

- low 5a-pregnanediol can be a contributing factor to PMDD and irritability due to issues with the GABA receptor's inability to adjust for sensitivity to fluctuating neurosteroids . This metabolite can cross the blood-brain-barrier and binds to GABA receptors, supporting a calming effect. Women who metabolize their progesterone through this pathway with lower levels of 5a-pregnanediol may benefit best from oral progesterone for symptoms of anxiety and difficulty sleeping .[6]

Melatonin[edit]

- Melatonin for Psychitric Disorders: Melatonin is promising for the correction of sleep and circadian abnormalities in psychiatric disorders.[7]

- Melatonin with Methylphenidate to help sleep in ADHD[8]:

BOTANICAL MEDICINES / HERBS:[edit]

Maca:[edit]

- A number of nutraceuticals, including SAMe, Saffron, and high dose MACA may improve Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions (AISD)'s [9]

Saffron:[edit]

- A number of nutraceuticals, including SAMe, Saffron, and high dose MACA may improve Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions (AISD)'s [10]


DRUG SUPPLEMENT INTERACTIONS[edit]

Beneficial Interactions:[edit]

Mirtazepine with Melatonin: [11][edit]

- Melatonin has been studied with Methylphenidate to help sleep concerns in ADHD[8][edit]
- A number of nutraceuticals, including SAMe, Saffron, and high dose MACA may improve Antidepressant-Induced Sexual Dysfunctions (AISD)'s [12][edit]

Negative Interactions:[edit]
