MoodBrite FAQ

Q: What is MoodBrite?
A: MoodBrite is a liquid OTC formula with a multi-tiered approach to naturally relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms and safely support your healthy lifestyle choices. We stabilize active homeopathic ingredients into our organic purified ionized mineral water base.

Q: Can MoodBrite be used to treat clinical depression?
A: MoodBrite is indicated to relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms. Seasonal Affective Disorder is defined as a kind of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter. Clinical depression is a mood disorder in which feelings may interfere with everyday life for a longer period of time. Clinical depression can be very serious and should always be attended to by your physician or other specialist. MoodBrite is not intended to replace any antidepressant medications prescribed by your physician.

Q: Is MoodBrite approved by the FDA?
A: MoodBrite is an FDA product listed natural medicine and uses an OTC formulation. The active homeopathic ingredients are officially recognized, as listed in the HPUS and Homeopathic Materia Medica. The FDA has regulated homeopathic medicine since 1938. Guidelines in the HPUS and in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act determine which ingredients are used for particular symptoms. The system of regulation conducted is the same as that of nonprescription OTC drugs, according to The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). Therefore, the final product, MoodBrite, does not require FDA approval to be sold for Seasonal Affective Disorder relief. MoodBrite is manufactured and packaged following the FDA's Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMP).

Q: How do I take MoodBrite?
A: Dosage and directions are included on the label. You can add liquid MoodBrite to a glass of purified water, or dispense directly into your mouth. See detailed instructions in picture below.

Avoid contamination: Do not touch the dropper to anything other than the product. (fig. 1,2)
When dispensing, squirt the homeopathic into your mouth without touching the dropper to your mouth. (fig. 3)

If dispensing directly into mouth is not convenient, you can put the solution into a spoon or a glass of water. (fig. 4,5)
Make sure to use non-metallic objects, as the metal can change the product's effectiveness.



After opening:
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight, along with prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

Q: How often do I take MoodBrite?
A: For optimal benefit, take MoodBrite consistently every day, once in the morning and again at night.

Q: How soon can I expect to see results from MoodBrite?
A: MoodBrite is designed to start working with your body to relieve your Seasonal Affective Disorder. For many individuals, results will be apparent within a few hours of the first dose. Every person is different, however, and the exact time taken for relief can vary. MoodBrite functions best in a body free of underlying conditions. These can hinder the body's ability to achieve balance. Observing proper nutrition and regular exercise is essential in order to experience the results of MoodBrite. We encourage you to take MoodBrite twice daily for 30 days to begin experiencing the results desired. If you cannot see improvement in the first 30 days, you are welcome to take advantage of our 60-day satisfaction guarantee and return the product. If you do see some improvement, however, we recommend that you stay with the program for 3-6 months to receive the desired results. Please see our 60-day return policy.

Q: How long does one bottle of MoodBrite last?
A: A single bottle of MoodBrite is two fluid ounces. The product's dosage is given according to weight. So, if you weigh 50+ lbs, each two-ounce bottle will last approximately one month for one person, depending on your individual health needs and usage.

Q: How much MoodBrite will I need?
A: Each bottle of MoodBrite offers a one month supply for one adult. Multiple family members taking MoodBrite may need more than one bottle per month.

Q: How safe is MoodBrite?
A: MoodBrite is made with natural ingredients and is, first and foremost, formulated to be safe. MoodBrite has no reported side effects or drug interactions, and may be used with other prescription or OTC medications. MoodBrite is safe for both adults and children 2 years of age and up.

Q: Has MoodBrite been clinically tested?
A: The individual ingredients in MoodBrite have claims based on the Homeopathic Materia Medica. As a composite formulation, however, MoodBrite has not been clinically tested.

Q: Can I safely take MoodBrite with medications?
A: The ingredients in MoodBrite are natural and safe, but if you are currently taking prescription medications, we recommend you inform your health care professional about any natural products you are using.

Q: Is MoodBrite an herbal remedy?
A: MoodBrite is not an herbal remedy. Herbal remedies are based on the herb's use in traditional medicine, while homeopathy uses the "law of similars." Herbs use larger quantities of the product per dose. Homeopathic medicines use minute doses of the substance to address the symptoms. Herbal substances are regulated as food, where as the FDA accepts homeopathic products as drugs.

Q: What is the "law of similars?"
A: The "law of similars" is the idea that like relieves like. Homeopathy demonstrates that a substance that produces a certain set of symptoms in a healthy person can relieve the same symptoms in a sick person experiencing them. The homeopathic medicine is diluted to such minute doses that the ingredients are very safe.

Q: What is "Natural Medicine?"
A: As a natural medicine, MoodBrite safely activates the body's natural relief and balance mechanisms. Many other OTC formulations rely on chemical responses to activate or block certain responses and come with notable side effects you can read about in the product indications. Natural medicine is safe. The ingredients in MoodBrite are regulated by the FDA according to the guidelines for OTC homeopathic formulation. While "natural" implies indications about the ingredients (MoodBrite does contain natural active homeopathic ingredients), "natural medicine" more accurately refers to how the medicine works.

Q: What is Integrated Medicine?
A: Integrated medicine is a functional, balanced approach to wellness. Rather than relying solely on conventional methods, such as prescription drugs and surgery, or alternative methods like acupuncture and homeopathy, integrated medicine recognizes the two can work well together. Health care providers who practice integrated medicine will use methods such as homeopathy in complement with more intense and/or invasive treatments.

Q: What is homeopathy?
A: Homeopathy is an officially recognized medicinal therapy using safe, naturally occurring substances to relieve symptoms of self-limiting conditions in the body. Observing the homeopathic dilution process per regulatory guidelines, we formulate the active ingredients in MoodBrite for safe and effective relief from Seasonal Affective Disorder.

Q: What is the homeopathic dilution process?
A:Homeopathic Medicines are believed to be more effective when its active ingredient is diluted. This is the minimum dose approach to homeopathy. The purpose of potency is to dilute the product until it can do no harm to a person. Homeopathic drug potency is indicated by such terms as "10X," 30X," and "LM1." These refer to the amount of times and by what ratio the base substance has been diluted.

Q: What is HPUS?
A: The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS) is a compilation of standards for the components and preparation of homeopathic drugs. It has been in continuous publication since 1897 and became the official U.S. homeopathic regulatory guideline in 1938 by authorization of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The HPUS is compiled by the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia Convention of the United States (HPCUS), a non-governmental, non-profit scientific organization of experts trained and experienced in the field of homeopathy. The HPCUS works closely with the FDA and U.S. homeopathic organizations. MoodBrite's active homeopathic ingredients are listed in the HPUS and are therefore officially recognized.

Q: What is "Materia Medica"?
A: "Materia Medica" (Latin) refers to a body of information about medical knowledge. At HelloLife, we refer to specific Materia Medica containing information on homeopathic ingredients. In general, we refer to William Boericke's Homeopathic Materia Medica. The active homeopathic ingredients in MoodBrite are recognized by this long-standing Materia Medica and are not required to undergo additional safety and interaction testing as new OTC drugs do.

Q: What is purified ionized mineral water?
A: Purified ionized mineral water uses organic trace minerals to supplement the minerals necessary for enzyme functions in the body. This can speed up cellular metabolism and support your body's natural repair processes. The purified ionized mineral water in MoodBrite is an effective stabilizing agent for the homeopathic ingredients, as opposed to alcohol, which is common to most homeopathic preparations but irritating to your system.

Q: How is MoodBrite different from conventional products?
A: MoodBrite is intended to safely relieve Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms AND promote optimal overall health. Conventional products typically address only the symptoms, often with negative side effects.

Q: Is MoodBrite a cure?
A: MoodBrite is a natural medicine for relieving Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms, but it is not a cure. Instead, MoodBrite is intended as a component of a healthy lifestyle, safely relieving your Seasonal Affective Disorder so you can focus on your health and life. Choose whole, fresh foods, clean, pure water and plenty of positive thought and movement. This will naturally increase the effectiveness of MoodBrite and the overall health of your lifestyle.

Q: What are symptoms?
A: Symptoms are the aspects of illness you can see and feel. It's the way your body responds to an underlying problem. Symptoms tend to be negative manifestations but can be good in the sense they are your body's way of telling you something is wrong. MoodBrite is intended to help relieve these negative symptoms. When you are no longer hindered by uncomfortable symptoms, you can concentrate on helping restore your body to its healthy balance.

Q: Is MoodBrite a drug?
A: Because the ingredients in MoodBrite meet the "Criteria for Eligibility of Drugs for Inclusion in the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States(HPUS)," and that the HPUS is an officially recognized compendium of homeopathic drugs by the FDA, MoodBrite is considered an OTC homeopathic drug. Therefore, it has to comply with the Labeling Guidelines of the FDA. Homeopathic products have been considered drug products since 1938, by authorization of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Although MoodBrite is technically considered a homeopathic drug (remedy) by law, its ingredients are natural and safe for supporting your body's healthy balance. MoodBrite is not intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of any disease.

Q: Will this product cause me to experience detoxification symptoms?
A: The purified ionized mineral water base of this product is OTC formulated to initiate a seamless detoxification process but some sensitive bodies may experience initial detoxification effects. As minerals begin to activate enzymes, chelating toxins and metals, sensitive bodies may experience mild acute symptoms of sores in the mouth (similar to ones caused by eating excessive salty or acidic foods) or loose stools. Symptoms should last no longer than 24 hours. Help your body through this process it by adding more fibrous raw fruits and vegetables to your diet during this time.

Q: Does MoodBrite come with side effects?
A: According to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a systematic review found homeopathic products such as MoodBrite to be generally safe and unlikely to cause severe adverse reactions when taken as directed. MoodBrite contains no alcohol, further limiting irritation to the body. While some individuals express concern about homeopathic aggravation (temporary worsening of symptoms after taking a homeopathic medicine), there is little evidence for it in clinical studies. Regardless of MoodBrite's safety, it is always important to inform your health care provider about any self-medication you may use.

Q: What do I need to consider if I'm thinking about using homeopathy?
A: There are five important points to consider and act on, as stated by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM): First, homeopathy is not a replacement for proven conventional care or a visit to your health care professional. Second, research clinical studies conducted around the homeopathic remedies for the health condition you are trying to treat. Third, thoroughly acquaint yourself with any homeopathic practitioner you may visit. Fourth, women who are pregnant or nursing, or those thinking of using homeopathy for a child, should first consult with their health care professional. Fifth, inform all of your health care providers about any complementary and/or alternative practices you use.

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder?

It's completely natural to feel down occasionally; we all have bad days every now and again. Sometimes, however, sadness is more than just a passing funk. If feelings of sadness are frequent, persistent, or especially severe during a certain time of the year, usually the winter months, they could be indicative of Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD. SAD can disrupt your daily life and deteriorate your relationships with others.

Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder

Sufferers of Seasonal Affective Disorder often experience many of the following symptoms:

• Sluggishness
• Increased sleep habits and appetite
• Isolation
• Loss of interest in work and hobbies
• Despair
• Irritability
• Problems concentrating
• Lacking energy

Factors Contributing to Seasonal Affective Disorder

Unfortunately, when it comes to SAD, there isn't any one specific cause. However, many cases have been linked to the factors involving the changing of the seasons and other factors:

Chemical Makeup: The reduced sunlight of winter can wreak havoc on the chemical makeup of the human body.

• Circadian Rhythm - Your body's internal clock, which regulates sleep patterns.
• Serotonin - A neurotransmitter that affects mood.
• Melatonin - A hormone affecting mood and sleeping patterns.

Seasons: Many people experience symptoms of SAD during the fall and winter

Geography: People who live in regions where there is little to no sunlight tend to develop SAD more frequently than others.

Gender: Consistent with other forms of depression, SAD is more commonly seen in women than men.

Genetics: Like most mental health issues, those with family members who have SAD are more inclined to have the condition themselves.

At Home Treatment for Seasonal Affective Disorder

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and believe you may be suffering from SAD, it's important that you speak with your health care professional about your concerns. In addition to the treatment prescribed by your doctor, there are certain lifestyle changes that you can try to help ease your symptoms.

Get Enough Sleep: Irregular sleep patterns can contribute to SAD symptoms, so aim for a healthy amount of sleep (7-9 hours for adults).

Exercise Regularly: Maintaining a consistent exercise regimen will give you more energy throughout the day and help you sleep more soundly at night. Further, exercise works to release hormones known as endorphins, which increase feelings of happiness and well-being.

Eat healthy. What you put into your affects your body's efficiency. Try to limit processed and fast food, and be sure to get plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein.

Reduce stress. We live in a hectic, fast-paced world, so this is easier said than done. However, even making minor changes to your daily routine can reduce the stress in your life and have a positive effect on your overall wellness. Try taking just five minutes out of your day to meditate - sit quietly and focus on your breathing, reflect on your successes, and/or write down a few things for which you're grateful.
