We all have bad days. We’ve all been moody. And we all know sadness. These are normal parts of life that happen on occasion.

But when all of your days are bad, you’re always moody, or your sadness never goes away, you may have a chemical or nutrient deficiency that can lead to depression.

Mood Performance is designed to support natural serotonin production – the brain chemical that plays a key role in mood support. Elevating serotonin levels is how most anti-depressants like selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) work. Since 5-HTP increases serotonin naturally, it can be as or more effective than prescription anti-depressants without the negative side effects like nausea, anxiety, low sex drive, insomnia, and worsened depression or thoughts of suicide.

Mood Performance also contains specific vitamins and minerals for natural mood support, energy, and cognitive function. It is safe to take everyday and won’t cause withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it or miss a dose.

Ingredients:

• 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP): Serotonin deficiencies have been implicated in mood disorders like depression. 5-HTP is converted to serotonin and can be effective at correcting serotonin deficiencies.
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate): A pyridoxine deficiency can lead to mood disorders by inhibiting the conversion of tryptophan to serotonin. Supplementing with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate can correct this deficiency and increase serotonin.
• Calcium, magnesium, and zinc: Deficiencies in these minerals are associated with mood disorders.
• Folic acid (vitamin B9): Folic acid plays a significant role in the proper metabolism of serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline. These are three of the primary neurotransmitters involved in mood support, energy production, and cognitive function.

Dosage:

Take 3 capsules once per day or as directed by your health care professional.

WARNING: Consult a medical professional before use if you are taking prescription medicine, are pregnant, or are nursing. HPS Mood Performance should not be used with MAOIs, SSRIs, or any other antidepressant medications.
