The most underconsumed nutrients impacting your mental health
A large study analyzing tens of thousands of adults found that higher intake of certain minerals were consistently tied to lower risk of depression.¹ Here’s why this matters for long-term health:

Potassium was the standout nutrient, showing a consistent link between intake and depression risk. This mineral helps regulate neuronal excitability and neurotransmitter balance, key processes for mood stability.

Iron and zinc were also protective. Iron influences GABA metabolism in the brain, while zinc supports hippocampal health and neuroplasticity.

These minerals are among the most underconsumed nutrients in the U.S. diet, leaving many people with hidden vulnerabilities that affect both mental and physical resilience.

Think of mineral-rich foods as part of your brain longevity plan.
