Some of the things I was thinking of were pyridoxine, manganese, selenium, niacinamide, Vitamin C, kava kava, cinnamon. There are others. I'm researching it. You're right. There are already some products out there specifically for anxiety. I was just brainstorming about all the nutrients that have helped me with anxiety. The trick is to find just the right combination for synergism, and of course, effective dosages with minimum of side effects. The other problem is, of course, is that some people may not respond due to the complexity of anxiety disorders. I just thought, one day, wouldn't it be nice to help people with anxiety disorders based on my personal experience, i.e. take a vitamin pill when you feel especially anxious in social settings. On the other hand, I guess the best way to treat anxiety disorders is to use medication with a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, herbs, fatty acids. This is what I already do. But I thought that some people may not want to take all these nutrients everyday. Heck, a lot of people don't even want to take their meds everyday. So if it could be as easy as popping a vitamin specifically formulated for anxiety, why not? I don't know. I'm just brainstorming.
