Mood Support with St Johns Wort - 90 Capsules - Now Foods

Support for a healthy nervous system and a positive, balanced mood.

NOW's Mood Support with St. John's Wort is a supplement containing nutrients and herbal extracts that help maintain a healthy nervous system and a positive, balanced mood. Studies indicate that taking it improves mood and reduces anxiety, fatigue, and insomnia associated with depression. This antidepressant activity is mainly due to its content of a compound called Hypericin, which acts on chemical messengers in the nervous system that regulate mood.

Holy Basil, also present in this supplement, contains substances that help reduce pain associated with the nervous system and have anti-inflammatory activity. Studies have shown that taking approximately 500mg of holy basil for 60 days reduces anxiety and stress related to depressive states.

Valerian is a plant primarily used for sleep disorders, such as insomnia. Several studies report that it significantly improves sleep quality. It also appears to have some effect in reducing stress and anxiety.

5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) acts on the brain and central nervous system by increasing serotonin production. Serotonin is a molecule that functions in communication between neurons, acting in the release of certain hormones and in the regulation of sleep and appetite.

This supplement also contains two amino acids: Taurine, found in high amounts in the brain, retina, heart, and platelets (blood cells), and L-theanine. Taurine is used as a supplement to enhance mental performance and for its antioxidant action. L-theanine, whose mechanism of action is to help transmit nerve impulses in the brain, is used to reduce stress or mild anxiety.

In addition to the aforementioned compounds, this supplement also contains several B vitamins (Thiamine, Niacin, Vit. B6, Folate, Pantothenic Acid, and Vit. B12), which have important functions in cell metabolism and energy production by the body, as well as in neurotransmitter synthesis. It also contains minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, and Manganese, whose intake has been associated with lower levels of anxiety, depression, and irritability.
