Supplements worth trying - to help with depression

Recently there have been some interesting studies carried out about the effects Cod liver oil - on depression and some Doctors are seeing good results from using it to help as a natural cure for depression!

Apparently most of us don't eat enough oily fish such as - Salmon, Mackerel, Trout or sardines etc which contains the essential Omega 3 oils found in Cod liver oil - as well as helping with depression it also claims to have other heath benefits - including reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes
It is said to improve brain power and helps protect against cancer and other diseases.

We're supposed to eat 3 - 4 portions of oily fish a week!

However you can get a good supply from Cod liver oil supplements - 5 mgs a day is recommended by the manufacturers

Cod liver oil supplements can be bought inexpensively at most chemists and health stores

Other supplements suggested by health care practitioners to help with the signs symptoms of depression are 5HTP and St Johns Wort which helps to raise serotonin in the brain - which can help with depression
