Ingredients for Mood

SAM‑e is your body’s universal methyl donor—a small molecule that fuels dozens of reactions tied to mood, joint comfort, and bile flow in the liver. Think of it as an octane boost for methylation and sulfur pathways that can nudge neurotransmitters, cartilage chemistry, and cholestasis symptoms in a favorable direction.

• Improve low mood
• Support joint comfort in osteoarthritis
• Relieve itching and lab abnormalities in cholestasis/liver conditions

5‑HTP is the direct building block your body uses to make serotonin, a brain messenger that influences sleep, mood, and appetite. Think of it as topping up the raw material for serotonin so your brain can make more when needed. People use it to sleep better, lift low mood, and curb cravings—though results vary and dosing matters.

• Improve sleep quality
• Support low mood
• Curb appetite and reduce overeating
• Support healthy weight loss
• Support serotonin levels

Omega‑3s are the flexible building blocks your cells use to keep membranes fluid and signaling on track—especially in the heart, brain, and during pregnancy. Think of them as the oil that helps your body’s gears run smoothly: they lower triglycerides, nudge blood pressure down, and support healthy pregnancy outcomes. Most benefits come from the long‑chain omega‑3s EPA and DHA found in fish oil, though certain plants can provide precursors that your body converts to EPA.

• Lower high triglycerides
• Support heart health in adults at risk
• Help maintain healthy blood pressure
• Support healthy pregnancy outcomes (lower risk of preterm birth)
• Tame low‑grade inflammation
