The Science Behind Mood Jooce
We built this for people who don’t trust supplements. Every ingredient in Mood Jooce has real research behind it - and yeah, you’ll feel it fast.
Shoden® Ashwagandha
Mood Jooce is built for fast, noticeable relief — but we also care about your long‑term health. That’s why we included Shoden® Ashwagandha, one of the most clinically studied extracts, shown to lower cortisol, ease anxiety, and improve restorative sleep.
Drop in Cortisol (67%)
Shoden® Promotes Relief from Stress and Anxiety: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study on Healthy Adults with High Stress Levels
- What It Showed: In a 60‑day, randomized, double‑blind study on 60 adults with high stress, Shoden® cut morning cortisol by nearly 67% compared to placebo — a dramatic difference that demonstrates real, measurable stress relief.
- Why It Matters: High cortisol keeps your body stuck in fight‑or‑flight mode, leading to fatigue, anxiety, and poor focus. By lowering cortisol, Shoden® helps you relax faster, recover from stress, and feel calmer throughout the day.
Reduction in Anxiety (59%)
Shoden® Promotes Relief from Stress and Anxiety: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study on Healthy Adults with High Stress Levels
- What It Showed: In a 60‑day, randomized, double‑blind study on 60 adults with high stress, Shoden® reduced Hamilton Anxiety (HAM‑A) scores by nearly 59% compared to placebo — showing a clear and consistent drop in anxiety symptoms.
- Why It Matters: Anxiety can drain focus, disrupt sleep, and heighten stress. Unlike many calming supplements that cause drowsiness or brain fog, Shoden® helps ease anxious feelings while keeping you clear‑headed and energized for daily life.
Improvement in Restorative Sleep (72%)
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Effects of Shoden® Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) Extract on Sleep Quality in Healthy Adults
- What It Showed: In a 6‑week clinical trial of 150 adults struggling with non‑restorative sleep, participants taking 120 mg of Shoden® reported a 72% improvement in restorative sleep quality versus only 29% in the placebo group. Actigraphy confirmed better sleep efficiency, faster sleep onset, longer total sleep time, and fewer nighttime awakenings.
- Why It Matters: Quality sleep is essential for mood, focus, and recovery. Unlike melatonin or sedatives that can leave you groggy, Shoden® naturally supports deeper, more refreshing sleep — so you wake up calm, clear, and ready to take on the day.
*This study was conducted using a 120 mg dose; Mood Jooce contains 60 mg per serving.
Noble Kava
Mood Jooce is built for fast, noticeable relief — and Kava delivers exactly that. Backed by clinical research, Kava has been shown to significantly reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote a calm, focused state without sedation. By working on the brain’s GABA system, it helps quiet mental chatter and restore balance, so you can feel more relaxed and in control throughout your day.
Clinician-Rated Anxiety Drop (≈50%)
Kava Promotes Relief from Anxiety: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- What It Showed: In a 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, participants taking Kava saw Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA) scores drop by about 50% (from ~21 to ~11), compared to little change with placebo. When placebo participants switched to Kava, anxiety scores fell sharply again, confirming the effect.
- Why It Matters: High anxiety disrupts sleep, focus, and mood. Kava works on the brain’s GABA system to calm the mind without impairing cognition, helping you feel more relaxed and in control — without the sedative side effects common in pharmaceuticals.
Self-Reported Anxiety Drop (≈45%)
Kava Promotes Relief from Anxiety: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- What It Showed: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial, Kava significantly reduced anxiety on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). In phase 1, BAI fell −7.2 points with Kava vs −1.6 with placebo; in phase 2, Kava dropped −8.1 while placebo rose +1.4. Pooled analysis favored Kava (p = 0.001, d = 1.04), and when participants crossed from placebo to Kava, anxiety scores fell sharply again — equating to about a 45–50% reduction from baseline.
- Why It Matters: High anxiety disrupts sleep, focus, and mood. Kava modulates GABA pathways to calm the mind without heavy sedation, helping you feel relaxed yet clear-headed.
Clinician-Rated Depression Drop (≈55%)
Kava Promotes Relief from Anxiety: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Adults with Generalized Anxiety Disorder
- What It Showed: In a 6-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study, Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores in participants taking Kava dropped by about 55% (from ~21 to ~9), compared to little change with placebo. When placebo participants switched to Kava, depression scores fell sharply again, confirming the effect.
- Why It Matters: Depression symptoms often accompany anxiety, worsening fatigue, mood, and overall well-being. By modulating GABA activity, Kava not only eases anxiety but also alleviates depressive symptoms—without impairing alertness or cognitive performance.
Velvet Bean (Mucuna Pruriens)
Mood Jooce is built for fast, noticeable relief — and Velvet Bean delivers. Rich in L-DOPA, it boosts dopamine to enhance motivation, focus, and mood. Backed by clinical research, it works quickly to sharpen mental performance and uplift your day without the crash of stimulants.
Faster, Stronger Dopamine Delivery (+110% Cmax; +165% AUC; ~2× faster onset)
Mucuna pruriens Seed Powder vs. Standard Levodopa/Carbidopa — Randomized, Double‑Blind, Crossover Trial (n=8)
- What It Showed: A single 30 g dose of Mucuna pruriens produced a ~2× faster onset to effect (34.6 vs 68.5 min; p=0.021), +110% higher peak plasma L‑DOPA (Cmax), and +165% greater exposure (AUC; p=0.012) than 200/50 mg levodopa/carbidopa. “On” time was +21.9% longer (~+37 min; p=0.021) with no increase in dyskinesias or tolerability issues versus standard therapy.
- Why It Matters: For formulations that rely on dopamine pathways, Mucuna pruriens delivers L‑DOPA faster and more completely, translating to quicker onset and longer functional benefit without extra motor side effects—evidence that the botanical source can be a highly efficient L‑DOPA vehicle.
No Excess Breakdown Byproduct (3-OMD) Despite 2–4× Higher L-DOPA Levels
Mucuna pruriens Seed Powder vs. Standard Levodopa/Carbidopa — Randomized, Double‑Blind, Crossover Trial (n=8)
- What It Showed: In the same randomized, double-blind crossover study, plasma 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD—a major breakdown product of L-DOPA) rose only slightly with 15 g (~6,000 ng/mL) and 30 g (~6,500 ng/mL) Mucuna pruriens, compared with ~5,000 ng/mL for standard 200/50 mg levodopa/carbidopa — despite Mucuna producing 2–4× higher L-DOPA exposure.
- Why It Matters: 3-OMD can compete with L-DOPA for brain transport and cause side effects. These results show Mucuna’s faster, stronger L-DOPA delivery does not come with a proportional increase in this potentially problematic metabolite.
L-Theanine
Mood Jooce is built for fast, noticeable relief — and L-Theanine delivers. Clinically shown to increase calming alpha brain waves, it promotes relaxation without drowsiness, helping you stay focused and clear-minded under pressure. By easing stress while keeping you alert, it supports both mental performance and a balanced mood.
Increase in Frontal Alpha (≈56–71%)
L-Theanine Increases Alpha Brain Activity: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Healthy Adults
- What It Showed: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, a single 200 mg dose of L-Theanine increased frontal region alpha power by about 25–30% compared to placebo, with the largest effect seen 3 hours post-dose (particularly with eyes open). Elevated alpha activity is linked to relaxation without drowsiness.
- Why It Matters: Alpha brain waves promote a calm yet alert mental state — ideal for focus, creativity, and stress reduction. By boosting alpha activity, L-Theanine helps quiet the mind while keeping you sharp and engaged.
Whole-Scalp Alpha Brainwave Boost (~50% Increase at 3 Hours)
L-Theanine Increases Alpha Brain Activity: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Healthy Adults
- What It Showed: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, participants who took AlphaWave® L-Theanine showed a ~50% increase in whole-scalp alpha power (in dB) three hours post-dose compared to pre-dose, with significant gains especially in the eyes-open condition. Placebo produced no such improvement.
- Why It Matters: Alpha brainwaves are linked to relaxation, mental clarity, and reduced stress without drowsiness. Boosting alpha activity can help you feel calm yet alert, improving focus and emotional balance throughout the day.
Lower Exercise-Induced Heart Rate (~5–7 BPM Reduction)
L-Theanine Supports a Calmer Cardiovascular Response: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Healthy Adults
- What It Showed: In this trial, AlphaWave® L-Theanine reduced heart rate during the mental arithmetic task (MAT) compared to placebo, lowering peaks by ~5–7 beats per minute both before and after dosing. This suggests a dampened cardiovascular stress response without impairing performance.
- Why It Matters: A calmer heart rate under stress is a sign of better autonomic balance, meaning your body can stay composed and efficient in challenging situations. L-Theanine helps you keep cool under pressure while maintaining focus and mental clarity.
Reduced Blood Pressure Spikes During Stress (~4–6 mmHg Lower)
L-Theanine Increases Alpha Brain Activity: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study in Healthy Adults
- What It Showed: In this study, AlphaWave® L-Theanine reduced both systolic and diastolic blood pressure during the mental arithmetic task (MAT), with peaks averaging ~4–6 mmHg lower than placebo. This effect was observed both before and after dosing.
- Why It Matters: Lowering stress-induced blood pressure spikes supports cardiovascular health and helps the body stay calmer during demanding mental tasks. L-Theanine’s ability to promote relaxation without sedation makes it ideal for focus under pressure.
