Mood & Brain

Mood and brain supplements
Mood and brain supplements can be part of an everyday routine that also includes good sleep, regular activity, time outdoors and staying connected with others. Several nutrients play a specific part. Magnesium and vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to normal psychological function, and iron, iodine and zinc contribute to normal cognitive function.

Mood and brain FAQs

When should I get help with my mood?
If you’ve been feeling low, anxious or not yourself for more than 2 weeks, speak to your GP. In England you can also refer yourself to NHS Talking Therapies. If you’re in crisis, call 111 or the Samaritans on 116 123.

Can I take these with antidepressants?
Some supplements, including those with L-tryptophan, saffron or ashwagandha, aren’t suitable with certain medicines. Check with your GP or pharmacist first.
