Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.)
Numerous clinical trials have confirmed the ability of lemon balm to affect depressive symptoms. The most recent analysis of published data found that daily use of an extract of the herb significantly improved psychosomatic symptoms, sleep disturbance, anxiety, depression, and impairments in social functioning (Ghazizadeh et al., 2021).
Oral administration of lemon balm is also beneficial in stressful episodes. One study demonstrated that a single dose of the plant extract was sufficient to increase calmness and alertness in a stressful situation (Kennedy et al., 2004). Another experiment also used lemon balm extract secretly added to the participants' food. The effect was improved memory and alertness in a mental stress test (Scholey et al., 2014).
The effect of lemon balm on sleep is interesting, especially in conditions of depression, anxiety, and stress. Several studies have investigated this effect and found that the herb improves sleep quality (Haybaret al., 2018; Soltanpour et al., 2019; Bano et al. 2023) and sleep duration (Aliakbari & Rafieian-Kopaei, 2018), reduces insomnia (Cases et al., 2011; Alijaniha et al., 2015) and time to fall asleep (Aliakbari & Rafieian-Kopaei, 2018), with the presumed mechanism of action being through anxiety reduction.
L-tryptophan
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is involved in the synthesis of proteins and signaling molecules in the brain. The body uses L-tryptophan to produce serotonin, and lower tryptophan intake and reduced levels in the body are associated with a higher risk of depression (Lieberman et al, 2016; Maes et al, 1996).
Several studies have shown that increasing intake of the amino acid through diet or supplementation may play a role in the management of mood disorders. Adding tryptophan to the diet has been associated with a lower risk of depression, anxiety, and irritability (Shaw, Turner & Del Mar, 2002; Sarris et al, 2016; Lindseth, Helland & Caspers, 2015).
Vitamin B6
Pyridoxine or vitamin B6 is involved in the synthesis and function of brain chemicals important for mental well-being and sleep, such as dopamine (Delitala, et al., 1976), serotonin (Sharma & Dakshinamurti, 1994), and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (Holtz & Palm, 1964; Martin, 1987), and its deficiency is associated with decreased serotonin levels (Sharma & Dakshinamurti, 1994).
In 2017, vitamin B6 was found to reduce nervous excitability (Smith et al., 2017), and has a beneficial effect on symptoms of anxiety and depression (Field et al., 2022). Other studies have found that pyridoxine supplementation helps reduce nervous tension, mood swings, irritability, and anxiety in premenopausal women (De Souza et al., 2000).
Vitamin B6 levels in the body are likely associated with the risk of depression, as evidenced by a recent meta-analysis of the literature, which found that populations with the highest vitamin B6 intake had a 19% lower risk of depression (Wu et al., 2021).
Magnesium
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in the body and is deeply involved in the functioning of stress-responsive systems. It is crucial for the balance of neurotransmitters and the activity of their receptors in the brain, thereby exerting a regulatory effect on the nervous system and psyche. Low levels of the mineral can increase susceptibility to stress and the risk of stressful conditions, and high levels of stress can deplete magnesium stores in the body (Cuciureanu & Vink, 2011).
Insufficient magnesium intake is associated with a higher risk of depression (Tarleton & Littenberg, 2015), and current evidence is encouraging that supplemental magnesium intake has a positive effect on depressive symptoms (Moabedi, 2023).
Magnesium is essential for muscle function and contributes to muscle relaxation. On the other hand, its deficiency can cause or worsen muscle tension - one of the main manifestations of stress in modern people.
Due to these and a number of other established properties of the mineral, it is increasingly mentioned in the scientific literature as a potential nutritional factor in the management of anxiety, stress, and other mental disorders (Boyle, Lawton & Dye, 2017; Botturi et al., 2020).
