5 Nutritional Supplements for the Holiday Blues

By Complete Care Specialist December 08, 2021

Many people associate Christmas with feelings of happiness and warmth.

But for some of us, the holidays aren't all that happy. In fact, many surveys have shown that people feel particularly depressed, fatigued and anxious during Christmas and Thanksgiving.

When we consider people's lack of time to organize their celebrations, lack of money to buy the gifts they wanted to buy, thoughts of ones that aren’t with us anymore and the pressure that comes with gathering the entire family, it's easy to understand why.

If you tend to feel this way during the holidays, taking nutritional supplements could be beneficial for you. Check out our suggestions!

1. Valerian Root

Valerian is a plant from Europe and Asia and it is often dried to be used as an herbal remedy.

For years, valerian root has been known to calm the central nervous system and, if during the holidays, you usually suffer from insomnia due to strong feelings of anger or anxiety, it might just be what you're looking for.

Our suggestion: Valerian Root ($11.75)

2. Melatonin

Your brain produces a substance called melatonin, which helps your body to figure out when to fall asleep and when to wake up. However, as you grow older, your melatonin production starts to decrease.

Supplementing helps regulate your sleeping schedule, which can help reduce your stress levels. A body that is well-rested is best able to face a house filled with family,  and both the chaos and love that comes with it. 

Our suggestion: Melatonin with Vitamin B6 ($10)

3. B-Complex Vitamins

B vitamins - particularly B6 and B3 - help your body preserve tryptophan and transform as much of it as possible into serotonin.

Depression is caused by an imbalance in your serotonin production so, by regulating it, you can better manage your mental wellbeing.

Our suggestion: Super Stress Support ($27.75)

4. St. John's Wort

St. John's wort comes from a small yellow flower and it's been used for medical purposes for centuries.

This plant has several active ingredients that help increase your serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline levels, all of which help fight feelings of depression.

Our suggestion: Mood Health Support ($20.77)

5. SAM-e

Finally, SAM-e stands for S-adenosyl-L-methionine, which is a compound that your body produces but that you can be deficient in. 

SAM-e contributes to your wellbeing in many different ways, including by producing dopamine and serotonin, two hormones linked to increased feelings of happiness.

Our suggestion: SAM-e tablets ($38.25)
