00:00Can supplements help depression?
00:03Scientists review 64 popular products.
00:07Depression affects millions of people worldwide, with approximately 280 million suffering according
00:13to the World Health Organization.
00:16While therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes remain standard treatments, many seek over-the-counter
00:22supplements as accessible, affordable, and natural alternatives.
00:28Researchers conducted a comprehensive review of 209 clinical trials involving 64 different
00:34supplements for depression.
00:36They screened nearly 24,000 study records and reviewed more than 1,300 full papers.
00:43Five products had the strongest evidence.
00:46Omega-3 fatty acids, St. John's wort, saffron, probiotics, and vitamin D.
00:53Research shows mixed yet insightful results.
00:57Omega-3s offer promise, but remain inconsistent.
01:01St. John's wort often matches prescription antidepressants.
01:06Saffron yields mostly positive effects.
01:10Probiotics highlight the gut-mental health connection.
01:12Vitamin D shows varied effectiveness.
01:1518 other supplements showed emerging evidence but require more research, including folic acid,
01:21lavender, zinc, tryptophan, rhodiola, and lemon balm.
01:27Many commonly used options, like melatonin, magnesium, and curcumin, yielded inconsistent results.
01:34Serious safety problems were rare across all trials, though only 69% fully reported side
01:40effects.
01:41Research gaps include how supplements work with talking therapies and cost-effectiveness studies.
01:48This review indicates some depression supplements have potential, but they should be considered
01:53additions rather than replacements for traditional treatments.
01:57Always consult healthcare providers before incorporating new supplements into your treatment plan for optimal
02:03safety and effectiveness.
02:04Thanks.
