L-theanine and magnesium lt-dbyf-dubois help mildly with anxiety

If you're deficient in vitamin D (quite common), taking a vitamin D supplement might make you feel somewhat better

Some people see some benefit from supplementing 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan, precursor to serotonin in the body)

Sadly not a whole lot of options tbh :(

5-htp only improves serotonin in the digestive tract as neither it, nor serotonin will cross the blood-brain barrier.

Which isn't to say it can't improve somebody's mental health. We focus way too much on the brain.
