What are mood-boosting supplements?

Mood-boosting supplements are natural or synthetic compounds designed to support mental wellbeing and alleviate stress or low mood. They may include ingredients such as curcumin for mild depression and magnesium to help with relaxation and stress reduction, while 5-HTP and L-tryptophan support serotonin production, a neurotransmitter linked to happiness. 

Omega-3 fatty acids may help to support brain health, and B vitamins are important for energy and mood regulation. Adaptogens like ashwagandha and Rhodiola rosea may also help with stress, while St. John’s Wort may be used for mild depression. Mood-boosting supplements may be helpful and may be beneficial when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle. It’s important to remember to consult your healthcare professional for advice.

What are the benefits of mood supplements?

Mood supplements may support mental health and emotional wellbeing. They may help reduce stress, anxiety and mild depression by helping to balance neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine and support brain health.

How long does it take for mood supplements to be effective? 

Supplements to improve mood may take varying times to be effective depending on the supplement, individual body chemistry and specific mood concerns. Your healthcare professional can advise you on how long it takes for mood-boosting supplements to be effective.

Do mood supplements have any side effects?

Yes, mood supplements may have side effects, though they vary depending on the supplement and individual. Side effects may include gastrointestinal discomfort or, in the case of St. John’s Wort, increased sensitivity to sunlight, dry mouth, dizziness or headache.

Adaptogens like ashwagandha are generally well-tolerated but may cause constipation, diarrhoea and nausea. It’s important to discuss potential side effects with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement, especially if you have existing conditions or take medications.
