Vitacost Mood Plus† with St. John's Wort & 5-HTP -- 60 Capsules 4.2 5 7 10

Takes the edge off! I work an off shift and that normally means choppy or not enough sleep. I bought this product to see if it could help to take the edge off some days when sleep isn't that abundant or life is just piling on. I've taken it for about 6 or 7 weeks now and there is a slight difference. It's not the euphoria I was hoping for but there are times when I know I would have blown my stack before and now it better. Placebo effect or actual results? Don't know - don't care - I'm still going to take it since either way it's helping me. I seem to get a little bit of seasonal depression in the fall so we'll see if it helps with that. Also I read that this can make some people drowsy, so I take it before bed just in case it does it works to my advantage. September 17, 2012

eh notice little difference if any. Not worth the money. July 12, 2011

No effect haven't seen or felt any difference taking these supplements. May 19, 2011

Stress Buster! Excellent product if you are under a lot of stress, and these days, that's most of us! While the price is great, I find it a better value to purchase the 5-HTP and St.John's Wort separately. But if you want value and the convenience of a combined product, then buy this! It's a lifesaver! It keeps me calm when my children are pushing my buttons. I can address any stressful situation more calmly when taking this product. Highly recommended. August 12, 2010

What is Vitacost Mood Plus†?

Vitacost Mood Plus† is an all-natural combination formula that supplies 210 mg of St. John’s Wort with 100 mg of 5-HTP.

St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) is an herb that has been used for 2,000 years for health purposes. The genus name Hypericum is from the Latin word hyper, meaning "above," and icum, meaning "spirit." The species name, perforatum, refers to puncture-like black marks on the underside of the plant's leaves.

St. John’s wort, especially its tiny yellow flowers, is a natural source of hypericin and other flavonoid (antioxidant) compounds. Hypericin, a natural pigment and the active ingredient in St. John’s wort, has become the subject of intensive biochemical research over the past three decades.

5-Hydroxytryptophan, or 5-HTP, is an amino acid that converts to serotonin in the body. Serotonin is a substance that acts as a neurotransmitter, or chemical that helps relay signals from one area of the brain to another.
