Nootropics are very commonly used to fight anxiety. Since these are normal situations for people, having a supplement that will fight off depressive feelings without requiring medical or emotional extremes, as well as a supplement that does not have side effects, is attractive and intriguing. Nootropics are commonly used in many countries as an important drug for cognitive stimulation and promoting an optimistic mindset. Nootropics are known as “mood enhancers,” which means they fix mood disturbances, which may be a main source of anxiety.

Supplements for Anxiety

Following are some supplements that are used for anxiety.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important for mood control as well as nerve and brain health. According to research, there is a relation between vitamin D levels and depression. Taking vitamin D supplements can help treat the disease. According to some studies, vitamin D deficiency can also be related to anxiety disorders.

Benefits

Vitamin D helps in the regulation of calcium and phosphate levels in the body. These nutrients are necessary to maintain the health of teeth, bones, and muscles. A deficiency of vitamin D can cause bone deformities in children, such as rickets, and bone pain in adults, such as osteomalacia.

Side Effects

Most people didn’t face any side effects of using vitamin D unless too much is taken. Overdoes of vitamin D can cause weakness, fatigue, sleepiness, headaches, lack of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms.

Side Effects

Magnesium is possibly unsafe when used in very high doses (more than 350 mg a day). Large doses can cause an excess of magnesium to accumulate in the body, resulting in severe side effects such as erratic heartbeat, low blood pressure, confusion, slower breathing, coma, and death.
