Item Beneficios del triptófano, vitamina D3, complejo B y MgCl2 para la disminución de síntomas depresivos en adultos: Revisión exploratoria de literatura(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2022) Giraldo, Hector Eduardo; Murgueitio Jácome, Stephanie; Ruiz Rivera, Luz KarinaBackground: Depression affects more than 300 million people with negative consequences on their work, school and family activities. Between 60% and 65% of people who need care for depression do not receive it in Latin America and the Caribbean. Objective: To identify the effects of tryptophan, vitamin D3, B complex and MgCl2 in the reduction of depressive episodes in adults. Method: exploratory literature review until April 14, 2021, with the key terms: "tryptophan", "magnesium chloride", "vitamin D3", "complex b", "depression", "adult" using Boolean operators in the electronic databases: Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed/Medline, ScienceDirect. Results: 6 articles included in the qualitative synthesis. Regarding reduction of depressive symptoms: b-complex did not show effectiveness; vitamin D3 was inconclusive; tryptophan and magnesium chloride were effective. Conclusions: Tryptophan and magnesium chloride intake is beneficial in decreasing depressive symptoms. A systematic review and further meta-analysis is suggested because methodological and clinical homogeneity was found. Psychological therapy can incorporate as a complement the use of tryptophan and magnesium chloride for the reduction of depressive symptoms in adults.
