https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26978056/

Potassium:[edit]

VITAMINS:[edit]

Vitamin C:[edit]

Vitamin C supports Norepinephrine:

- By supporting Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) and Tyrosine Hydroxylase:[8]

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3449284/

- vitamin C support Dopamine Beta Hydroxylase (DBH) activity to make more norepinephrine:[9]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3527656/

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. [10]

- Current research suggests that Vitamin D supplementation (2000 IU/day) could could help alleviate symptoms of depression.

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 .[16]
