Our Mood Balance carries the following contraindications: Not suitable for use with antidepressants. Driving may be impaired after using this product.
This is due to the L-tryptophan and 5-HTP present in the formula. Both amino acids are precursors of melatonin, a hormone which, among other functions, regulates the sleep–wake cycle. Mood Balance can therefore, in some individuals, cause a little bit of drowsiness or impaired reaction time.
