Recovering From Depression- Need an All In One Supplement..

Hi All,

For many years I have been tired, no energy, anxious, avoided people, black cloudy thoughts etc etc etc - the list goes on. The list has recently been given a name - and I have,  for what is now apparent at least for 10 years, been suffering with depression. 

Went to the GP - he was not interested really - told em to go and cheer my self up. (think this was a blessing in disguise), I went and spoke to a hippy friend of mine who told me to go to Holland and Barrett and get three things, 5HTP, L-Tyrosine and a PROPER Multi Vitamin - one that defo has  all the B's.

In 10 years I have not felt better - stress is now well lower to non existent and I am happier x 10, more alert, concentration is now 100% - win win. What is absolutley weird is that I now longer want a coffee and have not had one in 2 weeks and I have no want for booze - this may be conincidental - but these thing shave been my best mate in 20 years.

My post is not to harp on about the above - but the realisation that L-Tyrosine - which gives the alertness and concentration is an amino acid - and I am amazed a natural product can do this -------> Therefore I want take this further and get a supplement thats a one stop shop for all Aminos and Vitmains and Minerals. This will be done in conjunction with a better diet too - thats another subject.

Can anyone suggest a 'one stop' supplement that has all the vits, minerals and as many aminos as possible !!! 

Also any advice is really appreciated.

Cheers all

Tony 


 

  

I'm not sure of a supplement which contains all, but just wanted to congartulate you on your recovery.  Well done mate.

Try adding healthy fat supplement as well, something like udo's oil, its not a one stop shop supplement that you were talking about, but healthy fats are great for depression. Personally i've always found brewers yeast tablets great for what ails me, brewers yeast tablets are a good source of easy to absorb b vits, some good ones from holland and barratt . The only other supps I can think of as having a variety of nutrients are multi vits, dried greens/antioxidant supplements, or try home juicing ie wheatgrass etc.
