Description Kowa Mood Boost — All-Natural Nootropic Beverages Mood boost is an indulgent sparkling tonic that combines 4 functional ingredients to naturally boost your mood. 5-HTP – Promotes serotonin (the happy hormone) to lift your MOOD. Sourced from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia, 5-HTP is a natural part of the serotonin cycle and what the brain converts into serotonin. When this natural supplement is ingested, it can raise serotonin levels, AKA the “feel good” neurotransmitter in the brain. Our 5-HTP is Certified Organic, clinically backed, and uses a water-only extraction. ASHWAGANDHA – Reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) to help you UNWIND. Also known as winter cherry, Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub native to India. Ashwagandha has been shown to help lower cortisol levels, a hormone produced by your adrenal glands in response to stress. It has also been shown to increase mental stamina and reduce anxiety. It has been used for over 6000 years and is known as an adaptogenic herb due to its stress-relieving properties. RHODIOLA ROSEA -Promotes mental endurance to help you ACHIEVE. Rhodiola rosea is a perennial flowering plant and grows naturally in Arctic regions of Europe and Asia. These Arctic regions have used Rhodiola for centuries to treat anxiety and fatigue. Modern use and research on this herb have shown it can boost physical and mental performance. It is a great alternative to caffeine, and we use it to put the BOOST in MOOD BOOST. GABA – Soothes your nerves to help you RELAX. Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring amino acid that works as a neurotransmitter in your brain. GABA regulates signaling and activity in the nervous system, producing a calming effect and helping reduce feelings of stress and fear. Fun fact: GABA isn’t available in most food sources. The foods that contain the most GABA are fermented ones, such as kimchi, miso, and tempeh.
