3. Methylfolate, which is a form of folic acid/vitamin B9
4. S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe)
Other studies have shown that omega-3 fats that are found in fish oil, vitamin D and SAMe, can help combat depression all on their own.

Depression is a serious medical condition. If you, a friend or a family member suffer from depression, seek professional guidance from a qualified healthcare professional and don't try to treat depression totally on your own. This is true especially for depression that may involve suicidal thoughts.
