Usage, Warnings & Expected Response:


MOOD IMPROVE™ will assist with relief from:

    • Mood swings or unstable emotions
    • Migraines or frequent headaches
    • Excessive sleeping or insomnia
    • A bad temper or unexplainable outbursts
    • Side effects caused by prescriptions
    • Stress or nervousness
    • Menopause or PMS lows
    • Sadness or uncontrollable crying

USAGE:

MOOD IMPROVE works gradually over many weeks and should not be expected to provide immediate benefits. Because MOOD IMPROVE's short-term effects can be extremely subtle, you may not notice changes for some weeks. The typical daily dose is 2 capsules, taken once in the am and once in the pm with a meal. Since every person is unique, if you find no effect after 2 weeks, it is okay to increase the dose. It is not uncommon for some people to take 4 capsules daily (there are no dangers or side-effects.) Check with your doctor and discuss appropriate dosage if you have questions.

As its effects steadily increase week after week, however, MOOD IMPROVE can produce a dramatic long-term improvement in mood. Studies show that hypericum (St Johns Wort) works to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety immediately but doesn't show noticeable effects until 6-8 weeks of use, so MOOD IMPROVE may not reach maximum effectiveness for two months or more. This improvement will increase every month over six months. It is recommended that it be taken for a minimum of 6 months, and can be considered a long term supplement as it can be safely taken continuously.

MOOD IMPROVE must be taken consistently for maximum effectiveness.

The speed of response varies greatly for each individual. On average, MOOD IMPROVE users first notice positive changes after three weeks, but some report improvement in less than a week while others experience benefits only after four or five weeks. For this reason, it's important that you remain patient and not become discouraged if you don't detect any changes during the first month.

TIP: Just because you feel little difference after taking MOOD IMPROVE for a few weeks does not mean that it is not or will not work for you. MOOD IMPROVE's formula can improve mood dramatically in the long-run even when it produces no apparent short-term effects. MOOD IMPROVE works gradually on many individuals, bringing a slow but appropriate increase in brain chemical balance. Some new users initially notice no difference whatsoever and assume MOOD IMPROVE isn't working. They are usually surprised to wake up weeks later and realize that they just feel happier, more calm, and more optimistic than they have in years. Because of this, you must use MOOD IMPROVE for 6-8 weeks in order to accurately evaluate its effectiveness.

The chart below (from clinical trials) shows that while only 33% of MOOD IMPROVE users report positive changes during the first two weeks, 66% notice improvement within four weeks and 89% within seven weeks. Significantly, the data indicates that even if you have not yet experienced benefits after one month, there's nearly a 2 in 3 chance that you'll start feeling better during weeks 5-7. This underscores the importance of using MOOD IMPROVE for at least eight weeks before judging its effectiveness.

INTERACTIONS:

MOOD IMPROVE is completely natural and is safe for continuous use. However, many chemical and synthetic drugs will interfere with natural ingredients and vice versa. It is always recommended to consult with your physician prior to adding any supplement to your medication regimen. If you are on a prescription drug we recommend leaving a 3-4 hour gap between taking any medications or supplements. Please check that St Johns Wort will not interact with your prescriptions.

Antidepressants - St. John's Wort may interact with antidepressant medications that are used to treat depression or other mood disorders, including tricyclics, SSRIs (see earlier discussion), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) such as phenelzine. How St. John's Wort works is not entirely clear, but is believed to be similar to how SSRIs work. Therefore, using St. John's Wort with this class of antidepressants in particular can lead to exacerbation of side effects including headache, dizziness, nausea, agitation, anxiety, lethargy, and lack of coherence.

Digoxin - St. John's Wort should not be taken by those on digoxin because the herb may decrease levels of the medication and reduce its effectiveness.

Immunosuppressive medications - St. John's Wort should not be taken by those on immunosuppressive medications such as cyclosporine because it may reduce the effectiveness of these medications. In fact, there have been many reports of cyclosporin blood levels dropping in those with a heart or kidney transplant, even leading to rejection of the transplanted organ.

Indinavir and other protease inhibitors - The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory in February 2000 concerning the probable interaction between indinavir and St. John's Wort that resulted in significantly decreased blood levels of this protease inhibitor, a class of medications used to treat HIV or AIDS. The FDA recommends that St. John's Wort not be used with any type of antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV or AIDS.

Loperamide - There has been a report of a possible interaction between St. John's Wort and the antidiarrheal medication, loperamide leading to delirium in an otherwise healthy woman.

Oral contraceptives - There have been reports of breakthough bleeding in women on birth control pills who were also taking St. John's Wort.

Reserpine - Based on animal studies, St. John's Wort may interfere with the intended action of this medication used to treat high blood pressure.

Theophylline - St. John's Wort can reduce levels of this medication in the blood leading. Theophylline is used to open the airways in those suffering from asthma, emphysema, or chronic bronchitis.

Warfarin - St. John's Wort interferes with the anticoagulant medication, warfarin, by reducing blood levels as well as the effectiveness. This leads to the need to for adjustments in doses of this medication.


WARNINGS:

Do not combine with any other antidepressant medication and do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding or for people with uncontrolled high blood pressure.

St. John's Wort definitely increases your sensitivity to sunlight, which can be a minor problem for those of you who suntan frequently or must spend a great deal of time outdoors.

Should I avoid any foods?

There has been much debate in this area recently, as it was believed that St. John's Wort exhibits MAOI traits. If this is true, then people must avoid foods like red wine, alcohol in general, aged cheeses, sausage, etc. Doctors and researchers today believe that St. John's Wort does not exhibit these properties, and therefore you need not be extremely concerned with the foods you eat. If you are concerned about this, consult your doctor and get a medical opinion.
