Six weeks in and the shift in my general mood is genuinely noticeable. There was a flatness to most days that I hadn't fully registered until it started to lift. I feel more like myself. Really happy with this.
Mood Support · Mental Wellbeing Formula
Mood
Our Mood formula is engineered to support healthy serotonin levels, emotional wellbeing, and mental balance at a foundational level.
Designed for those looking to maintain a stable, positive mood and a calmer state of mind, it helps support the body's natural serotonin production — the neurotransmitter most closely associated with feelings of happiness, calm, and emotional resilience.
At its core is 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP), a naturally occurring compound produced by the body that serves as a direct precursor to serotonin. For those whose natural levels require additional support, supplementation provides a clean, holistic way to help maintain emotional balance and mental clarity.
This is associated with improved mood stability, reduced feelings of stress and anxiety, and better sleep quality when used consistently as part of a daily wellness routine.
The formula is simple, clean, and free from unnecessary additives — designed to support your mental wellbeing naturally from within.
Our Mood formula is designed for daily use to support serotonin balance, emotional wellbeing, and a calmer, more resilient state of mind.

The Science
Evidence-Based Formulation
5-HTP is one of the most studied natural mood compounds in the world — a direct serotonin precursor that crosses the blood-brain barrier and elevates serotonin in the brain, supporting mood, anxiety, sleep, and emotional resilience.
-
5-HTP significantly reduces depression scores — comparable to prescription antidepressants in clinical trials
“Double-blind trials comparing 5-HTP to standard antidepressants found equivalent reductions in depression scores, with 5-HTP showing a favourable tolerability profile. 5-HTP bypasses the rate-limiting tryptophan hydroxylase step and converts directly to serotonin in the brain — producing faster, more predictable serotonin elevation than dietary tryptophan.”

5-HTP reduces anxiety scores in double-blind placebo-controlled trial
“A double-blind RCT found 5-HTP supplementation significantly reduced anxiety scores over 8 weeks versus placebo. The mechanism involves serotonergic modulation of the amygdala — the brain's threat-detection centre. Higher serotonin tone reduces the amygdala's sensitivity to stressors, producing a calmer, less reactive emotional baseline.”

5-HTP improves sleep quality via the serotonin-to-melatonin conversion pathway
“Serotonin is the direct precursor to melatonin — the hormone governing sleep onset and architecture. 5-HTP supplementation increases central serotonin availability, supporting melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland. Clinical studies show significant improvements in time to sleep onset, total sleep duration, and slow-wave deep sleep quality.”

5-HTP reduces caloric intake and carbohydrate cravings via serotonergic appetite regulation
“A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found 5-HTP significantly reduced daily caloric intake — particularly from carbohydrates — without voluntary dietary restriction. Serotonin is a key regulator of satiety signalling in the hypothalamus. Elevated serotonin tone reduces the neurological drive to seek out carbohydrate-dense foods.”

Griffonia simplicifolia is the richest natural source of 5-HTP with superior blood-brain barrier uptake
“Griffonia simplicifolia seeds contain 5-HTP at concentrations up to 20% dry weight — the highest of any plant source. Unlike tryptophan, which competes with other amino acids for brain uptake, 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier independently with near-complete CNS uptake. Standardised seed extract ensures consistent potency with every dose.”

Calcium is essential for synaptic neurotransmitter release and neurological signalling
“Calcium ions trigger neurotransmitter vesicle fusion at synaptic terminals — without adequate calcium, serotonin cannot be released effectively regardless of synthesis levels. Research links calcium deficiency to mood disturbance and anxiety. The 328mg per serving contributes 25% of the recommended daily intake, directly supporting the serotonin signalling system.”

Benefits
- Directly elevates brain serotonin — supporting mood, motivation and emotional balance
- Reduces symptoms of mild-to-moderate depression without pharmaceutical side effects
- Lowers anxiety and calms the stress response via serotonergic amygdala modulation
- Improves sleep quality as serotonin converts to melatonin in the pineal gland
- Reduces carbohydrate cravings via serotonin's role in hypothalamic satiety signalling
- Calcium supports neurotransmitter release for optimal serotonin signalling efficiency
Why our Mood
Our formula delivers 200mg of 5-HTP per serving — sourced from Griffonia simplicifolia, a West African plant whose seeds are the richest known natural source of the compound. 5-HTP crosses the blood-brain barrier directly and converts to serotonin within the brain, unlike dietary tryptophan which competes with other amino acids for transport. At 200mg, this is at the upper end of the therapeutic range used in peer-reviewed clinical trials.

How to Take
Take 2 capsules daily with a meal. For sleep and next-day mood benefits, take in the evening 30–45 minutes before bed. Taking with food reduces the chance of mild nausea, which some individuals experience on an empty stomach.
Do not take alongside prescription antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs) without first consulting a healthcare provider.

Anxiety has been a background noise for years. Within about three weeks of starting this the volume has turned down noticeably — still there but much more manageable. The vitamin B6 and ashwagandha combination is right.
I take it an hour before bed and sleep has improved significantly — falling asleep faster, waking up more rested. The 5-HTP for serotonin converting to melatonin makes complete sense and you feel it working.
Good product. I'd say it takes three to four weeks before anything is clearly noticeable — if I hadn't committed to giving it time I might have stopped too early. The mood improvement is real once it builds.
200mg is the right dose — the 50mg products I tried before did nothing. This one works. Mood is better, sleep is better, and emotional reactivity is noticeably lower. I feel more stable overall.
The evening cravings have reduced alongside the mood improvement — I wasn't expecting that. Less snacking, fewer sweet cravings, more even moods. The serotonin effect on appetite is apparently real.
My doctor mentioned 5-HTP as something to consider before a prescription route. A month in and I'm genuinely glad I tried this first. Mood and sleep both meaningfully better.
Consistency is what makes this work — you can't take it occasionally and expect results. Four months in on subscription and mood is the most stable it's been in years. Worth committing to.
