MoodSense
Natural Factors WS WomenSense
Overview
MoodSense combines several ingredients known for their potential to support mood, reduce stress, and promote emotional well-being. While many of the ingredients have scientific backing, some are provided at dosages that are at the lower end of the clinically effective range or the specific standardization required for optimal effect is not provided, which may limit overall efficacy compared to research outcomes for higher doses or specific forms.
The Good
Contains well-researched ingredients for mood support, including 5-HTP and Saffron.
Formulated with adaptogen (Rhodiola) to help the body manage stress.
Includes ingredients like L-Theanine and Lavender known for promoting relaxation.
The Bad
Potential interaction with antidepressant medications (SSRIs) due to 5-HTP content.
75mg of 5-HTP per tablet (150mg daily total) is on the lower end for depression research (200-300mg daily is more common), potentially limiting efficacy for some.
Lavender dosage (100mg) is below the commonly suggested effective dose of 80-160mg per day, especially considering the product is 2 tablets, 2 times per day (400mg daily total, but the specific form and standardization for Lavender is not provided).
