Exactly right on.
My concern was that your post seemed to have then "evolved" the intended thread into a "let's try this supplement".
With today's poor agriculture practices, depleted soils, etc., it's probably not a bad idea for most of us to do a basic level of supplementation (i.e., a good multi-vite with some extras as needed). And I am a big proponent of using natural cures whenever possible (amino acids instead of pharmaceuticals whenever effects are practical, for example).
But often we seem to jump on the "supplement of the month" bandwagon.
Someone mentions Tyrosine (for example) and everyone wants to do Tyrosine. How much, who has best prices, etc. Yet if one has anxiety as primary problem or an agitated type of depression, tyrosine would be terrible to take as it increases dopamine production which can then increase adrenaline hormones which could then escalate one's symptoms (p.s. I found that out the hard way).
Many herbals are the same way.
But, yes, your initial posting started the thread out with a completely correct position.
(In fact, I often find it funny out threads will not only evolve away from their intended stance, but often evolve into completely different topics!).
