Dr. Formulated Probiotics Mood+
Garden of Life / Dr. Formulated
Overview
Dr. Formulated Probiotics Mood+ aims to support mood and digestive health through a combination of probiotics and Ashwagandha. While the product contains a variety of beneficial probiotic strains and a well-regarded adaptogen, the specific dosing of individual probiotic strains within the proprietary blend, except for the top two, appears to be relatively low compared to research-backed effective amounts. Ashwagandha is at a therapeutic dose. The 'Organic Fruit Blend' is negligibly dosed and unlikely to provide any significant benefit.
The Good
Features a comprehensive blend of 14 diverse probiotic strains.
Includes Lactobacillus plantarum at a good dose, supporting glucose, cardiovascular, and oral health.
Lactobacillus acidophilus provided at a good dose, supporting digestive and immune health.
The Bad
Proprietary blend makes precise individual probiotic dosing unclear
Low doses for several specific probiotic strains compared to research
Ashwagandha dose is at the lower end of effective range for some benefits
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking gut health support, those looking to support mood through the gut-brain axis, general wellness
Skip If: You have a compromised immune system or are on immunosuppressants without consulting a doctor.
