Yes. The best I know of is ginger root. It is in the same family as turmeric, which have significant anti-inflammatory, antidepressant and neuroprotective effects. Ginger root also affects serotonin receptors (5-ht1a agonist and 5-ht3 antagonist) is a calcium channel antagonist, and may have some MAOI activity.
Lithium orotate might also be useful for mitochondrial neuroprotection. Others include, melatonin, omega-3, zinc and possibly green tea.
Hope this helps.Linkadge
