The objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of 42-day supplementation of MoodElite T-4003-1 on improving mood in healthy adults. The efficacy of MoodElite T-4003-1 on mood will be assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Profile of Mood States (POMS) Questionnaire. POMS is a self-reported assessment of mood that is adaptable to capturing transient and fluctuating feelings, or relatively enduring affect states and contributes to a comprehensive assessment by providing indications of potential mood disturbance. Self-reported sleep efficiency, perceived sleep debt, and sleep difficulty will be assessed by a Sleep Quality Questionnaire and supported by sleep scoring from actigraphy readings. As vitality is related to both mood and sleep, the Vitality and Quality of Life questionnaire will be used to measure changes in energy levels and quality of life over the 42-day study period. The effects of MoodElite T-4003-1 will be compared to a placebo and comparator product, EasyMind T-4008-1. EasyMind T-4008-1 contains extracts from Paeonia lactiflora, Gardenia jasminoides, Albizia julibrissin, Paeonia suffruticosa and has been shown to reduce anxiety-like behaviour in a rodent model using chronic restraint stress through reduction of corticosterone (cortisol) (unpublished results).
For the study population, the eligibility criteria limits the presence of confounding variables that could influence study outcomes. Participants will be healthy men and women between 18 and 65 years of age. Individuals will be recruited based on having mild to moderate depressive symptoms, as assessed by the BDI-II. The BDI-II contains 21 items and evaluates both psychological and physical symptoms related to depression. Participants with diagnosed chronic or major depression or psychiatric disorders will be excluded to ensure only those with mild, non-pathological depressive symptoms are enrolled. Any participants taking prescribed or over the counter mood altering medications will be excluded, as not to interfere with the evaluation of the effects of MoodElite T-4003-1 on mood. Participants taking supplements for mood support at a stable dose for at least three months will be evaluated by the QI to determine eligibility. Shift workers or individuals who have recently travelled across one or more time zones will be excluded to limit any confounding effects on outcomes.

The change in mood between MoodElite T-4003-1, comparator (EasyMind T-4008-1), and placebo from baseline to day 42 after supplementation will be assessed using Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). The BDI-II contains 21 items on a 4-point scale from 0 'Symptom Absent' to 3 'Severe Symptom'. Scoring is achieved by adding the highest ratings for all 21 items with a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 63. A higher total BDI-II score indicates greater symptom severity.
