Clear Mood Review

Product Features

Clear Mood includes several active substances. Among them, there is the amino acid 5-Hydroxytryptophan, essential in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter Serotonin. This is the synthetic form of the building block of proteins L- tryptophan. This form has drawn a lot of attention particularly because it has the ability to cross the blood brain barrier, which does not seem to be the case of other forms of compounds designed to boost Serotonin levels. Serotonin is needed by humans to regulate mood, body temperature, sleep cycles (it is further transformed into melatonin), learning and appetite, to name only a few of its benefits. When the levels of this neurotransmitters are low, a large number of symptoms may occur, such as: depression and anxiety feelings, irritability, sleeping problems, incapacity to concentrate, fibromyalgia or excessive eating. The side effects that may result from taking 5-HTP supplements consist in nausea and vomiting, drowsiness and digestive problems.

The Magnolia bark extract is a traditional remedy used widely in the treatment of menstrual cramps, digestive problems (bloating, indigestion), nausea, asthma, colds and coughs, and intestinal problems. The chemical that were found to be responsible for the plant’s benefits are known as honokiol and magnolol, believed as up to 1000 times more potent antioxidants than vitamin E. The compounds are believed to provide excellent anti-stress and antioxidant benefits. Recent studies have determined the extract’s potent anxiolytic benefits. Its potency has been compared to a popular antidepressant called Valium, but without its negative side effects. The benefits of the chemicals from Magnolia in increasing Acetylcholine levels have made it a researched compound in the treatment of memory related disorders (like Alzheimer’s disease shown to be characterized by low levels of Acetylcholine). Short term use (up to 6 weeks) of products based on Magnolia officinalis bark extracts is considered likely safe. However, the effects of long-term use are unknown.

Clear Mood by AdvoCare should not be used by pregnant or nursing women. Clear Mood side effects are not listed by the manufacturer, but these may result from the adverse reactions given by each of the active ingredients.
The suggested dose is 1 capsule 1-3 times per day.

Conclusion

Clear Mood nutritional supplement is advertised as a potent formula to increase mental performance and promote a general sense of well- being in those who chose to try the product.
The formula does not seem to be the subject of any clinical trial or scientific research or paper. Its claimed benefits are not supported by consumers either. There are only a couple of testimonials available at the time of this review. The manufacturer mentions some vague warnings against the use of this formula in combination with other classes of drugs, including antidepressants, sleep aids or tranquilizers.
Clear Mood pills should also not be combined with alcohol. This supplement may interfere with the ability to drive or operate heavy machinery (which may be an indication of drowsiness as a potential side effect).

Clear Mood by AdvoCare may prove itself as an effective supplement, but at the moment, there is no solid evidence to support any of the claimed benefits. This is why we strongly recommend seeking professional advice prior using the product.
