Supplements for Depression And Anxiety
2 supplements with research evidence for Depression And Anxiety
What the Research Shows
There is moderate evidence suggesting that prebiotics may play a role in managing depression and anxiety. These substances may work by modulating the gut-brain axis—the communication network between your digestive system and your brain—which could potentially provide benefits for major depressive disorder and anxiety. In contrast, there is currently insufficient evidence regarding the use of black cohosh for these conditions. While black cohosh has been included in broader systematic reviews of herbal medicines for depression and anxiety, there is not enough specific, high-strength evidence available to determine its effectiveness for these particular mental health concerns.
