Stan_the_man,
I like your list. I would add curcumin to it. Curcumin would fit under the "antioxidant," "MAO," and "inflammation" categories.
You could also check out the book "Codex Alternus" for information on natural products that could be beneficial for individuals suffering from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. You might still be able to find it online as a pdf file.

Thank you for taking the time to compose and post such a long list. I agree with Tomatheus. Curcumin may have a place on your list, even though some recent studies deem it ineffective. I don't know what to think. I would not exclude curcumin from consideration.

Wow! I thought I took a lot.
Would you care to give your opinion on Phenibut and Picamilon? Almost nothing on Babble about these 2
Are you in UK or Europe or USA?

this is what I found from http://nootriment.com/
Picamilon --- GABA and niacin
Picamilon (4-(Pyridine-3-carbonylamino)butanoic acid), also referred to as nicotinoyl-GABA, is a nootropic supplement made from niacin and GABA. GABA is the key inhibitory neurotransmitter in the body. It exerts powerful calming effects by preventing stress reactions due to over-excited neural activity. GABA is unable to cross the blood-brain barrier on its own, so this supplement incorporates bioavailable Niacin as an effective delivery device. Niacin also has vasodilation effects, increasing circulation and delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the brain.By preventing nerves from over-firing due to stress, Picamilon promotes a sense of peaceful relaxation. It increases mental clarity and emotional balance, and its sedative effects can also enhance natural sleep patterns. Picamilon also has excellent anti-oxidant effects, ridding the brain of toxins and increasing blood flow. The result is natural anxiety relief and heightened mental focus.
--------------------------------Phenibut --- GABA
Other Names: NoofenPhenibut (?-Phenyl-?-aminobutyric acid) is a derivative form of GABA, also known as ?-aminobutyric acid. GABA is a key inhibitory neurotransmitter which balances stress signals in the brain by binding to receptor sites before other stress hormones can. GABA is not able to cross the blood-brain barrier and is thus difficult to supplement with. However, Phenibut is fully bioavailable, and is able to directly stimulate both GABA-A and GAAB-B receptors non-selectively.
The resulting benefits for users involve a reduction of stress and anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effect. Phenibut contributes to a state of mental calm and tranquility, while enhancing brain communication across hemispheres and improving sleep. It must be used properly to avoid side effects as well as withdrawal and tolerance concerns.
