How and Why Was Dr. Mood Created? – Our Story

Why Did We Create Dr. Mood?

We won’t hide the fact that, like many of you, we and those close to us struggled with issues such as stress, low mood, lack of energy, motivation, focus, and anxiety.

While growing saffron, we decided to dive deeper into its benefits and understand why people throughout history used it not only as a spice but also as medicine. We discovered that saffron is called “red gold” not just because of its exceptionally high price but also for its undeniable and remarkable health benefits, especially for mental health. And that was exactly what we needed! So, we started taking it regularly.

Meanwhile, our research into herbal medicine continued, and we came across Bacopa monnieri – an invaluable brain tonic rooted in the ancient history of Ayurvedic medicine. We combined the two herbs, and after two months, the results were truly impressive. Feelings of anxiety diminished, concentration at work improved significantly, daily stress practically disappeared, and the quality of sleep also improved.

We delved deeper into medical literature and studies on the effects of these herbs and realized that these great results weren’t surprising at all. It’s simply Health from Nature.

The two key active components in saffron are safranal and crocin, though it contains over 150 volatile and non-volatile compounds that work synergistically. Research shows that safranal inhibits serotonin reuptake, while crocin inhibits dopamine reuptake, helping the brain balance neurotransmitter levels. Saffron has been used as a medicinal treatment for over 3,600 years and is recognized as being as effective in treating depression as imipramine or fluoxetine.

Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, however, saffron use does not come with adverse side effects.

At Dr. Mood, we take it a step further. Unlike other saffron supplements, we use the whole herb rather than a standardized extract that typically only contains safranal. This ensures a more comprehensive and potent effect in our supplement. You can read more about the difference between using whole herbs and extracts here.

The primary active components in Bacopa monnieri are bacosides, which exhibit strong antioxidant activity. They stimulate several neurotransmitters, including dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine. These active components significantly enhance neuron connectivity and growth, aiding memory formation. Bacopa monnieri can be classified as a classic nootropic and a powerful adaptogen, helping to relieve stress and reduce anxiety-related behaviors.

This is why we confidently offer you Dr. Mood. If you give it a chance, you’ll feel more fulfilled, confident, joyful, and happy! It will change your life!
