Welcome to Health Smart Products!

Tired woman awake in bed at 2:17 AM, representing one frame of a broken night.

Disrupted sleep can show up in many different ways:

Thoughts keep running...
The harder you fight them—the
harder it becomes to fall asleep.

Person waking repeatedly during the night

You’re sleeping...
Yet you wake up again and again
throughout the night.

Person waking too early and unable to fall back asleep

You start waking up too early.
But whatever you do, you can’t
get back to sleep.

Person waking in the morning feeling tired and unrested

It’s morning. You technically slept.
But you don’t feel rested—you’re
tired, low on energy and irritable.

IF YOU RECOGNIZED YOURSELF

IN ANY OF THAT, HERE’S WHAT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TELLS US:

Everyday stress can keep your brain and body on alert long after the day is over. This prolonged state of alertness can affect sleep quality.*¹

WHAT DOES IN THE MOOD SUPPORT?

Confused person questioning energy and mood.

Well... falling asleep isn't controlled by a single switch.

To shift you from day mode to night mode, several systems need to work together¹⁸. If they don't, here's what often happens:

Your mind is tired but your brain is active.

Q&A

Is this a sleep aid that makes me sleepy?

No—it is not a sleep aid. The formula was designed with different needs in mind, with ingredients selected for their roles in stress response, nervous-system function, and processes involved in relaxation and rest.*

When should I take In The Mood?

If you're just starting to take In The Mood, start with 1 scoop twice a day. If nighttime support is your main goal, you can take 1 scoop before bedtime. The full 2-scoop daily serving may also be taken before bedtime.

What does it taste like?

It has a natural berry flavor and tastes best cold. Mix it with your favorite cold drink, or try it with plain seltzer—it makes a surprisingly delicious, refreshing drink with a lemonade-like taste. Because the formula contains black pepper extract, its peppery character may be more noticeable in hot drinks.

Why is In The Mood a powder instead of capsules?

Because this formula contains substantial amounts of multiple ingredients. Delivering the same formula in capsules would have required taking a large number of capsules each day.

WHAT IS NEXT?

WHY 12 INGREDIENTS?

Sleep involves multiple interconnected systems. Stress response, mood, and relaxation can influence one another—and what happens in one system can affect the others.¹⁷That gives us four areas of support:

Four areas of support in the formula: Stress Response — promote recovery from today's stress and support your response to tomorrow's stress. Brain Activity — help your brain slow down and relax. Mood & Motivation — support a balanced mood and healthy motivation. Nervous System & Muscle Function — maintain a calmer nervous system and relaxed muscles.

So, let’s look at how the 12 ingredients support these four areas—what each ingredient does, and why each specific dose was chosen.

Please note: throughout the ingredient tables, “Typical Market Dose” refers to the range found in similar multi-ingredient supplements—

not standalone single-ingredient products.

I. Today's Stress… Tomorrow's Stress…

Here we use two different ingredients with complementary roles:

— one selected to support recovery from today's stress

— the other selected to support your response to tomorrow's stress.

Organic Ashwagandha Root Extract, KSM-66, 500 mg per serving.

II. Slow Down Racing Thoughts

Calming a racing mind involves several different processes—from the balance of stimulating and calming nerve signals to alpha brain-wave activity and other processes involved in relaxation. Because so many different processes are involved, this area requires broader support. That's why we selected five different ingredients, each supporting a different part of the process.

III. Mood and Sleep—They're Connected

How you feel during the day can affect how you rest at night—and how well you rest can influence mood and motivation the next day.

Serotonin and dopamine are two key neurotransmitters involved in this process. That's why the formula includes ingredients selected to support the body's natural production of these neurotransmitters.*¹¹

IV. Relax Your Body—Nerves to Muscles

Calming the mind is only part of winding down. Your nervous system can remain activated and your muscles can stay tense—even when you're trying to settle down. That's why we finish by supporting your body from nerves to muscles.

Zinc Picolinate, providing 5.5 mg elemental zinc per serving.

Magnesium Bisglycinate, providing 45 mg elemental magnesium per serving.

GET THE MOST FROM THE FORMULA

Absorption and bioavailability are important considerations in how certain nutrients are used by the body.

BioPerine Black Pepper Fruit Extract, 20 mg per serving.
