Organic India Joy! Herbal Supplement - Elevates Mood, Immune Support, Promotes Memory & Concentration, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, USDA Certified Organic, Non-GMO, Calming - 90 Capsules

I started taking this on April 20th, 2020. I loved it so much that I kept taking it. I was taking about two to three 2-capsule doses each day. I was also taking Gotu Kola, Holy Basil, Amla, and Turmeric - all from Organic India. I also take all 3 oils from Green Pasture. Before I take anything though, I start each day with 1.5 liters of water and then 30+ minutes after that I take a dose of Champ Pro Plus. 10+ minutes after that, I take my supplements, or I eat first, depending on how I feel. So yeah, I definitely get some good supplements in me every day.Just over a month ago on March 2nd, I stopped taking all of the herbs because I began taking an extremely high-quality CBD oil and I was finding the same benefits as all of these herbs just from the CBD oil. Or that's what I thought...A week or two after I started taking the CBD oil, I added turmeric back in because I needed more inflammation relief than was being provided by the CBD oil alone (I have eczema). That worked, so I continued letting the other bottles of the herbs collect dust. Oh, and the turmeric definitely helped in all the other ways it helps too, so that was a nice added bonus.Two days ago, I was having a fairly bad day and my eyes unexpectedly landed on the bottle of Joy I still have, almost like I was seeking relief and I subconsciously looked at it. So, I took 2 capsules and when my body had fully digested and assimilated them, I began feeling quite a bit better! So, I took two more capsules about maybe 6-7 hours later or so just because I can, and then I started feeling even better. I was blown away (and I still am)! I went to bed that night with a 2-capsule dose and slept quite well.Here I am two days later and I'm feeling FAR better than I have felt since March 2nd when I quit taking all of these herbs. All I've added back in so far is the Turmeric and Joy, but the Joy is making a HUGE difference for me. I didn't really notice until now that this whole period of time since March 2nd, my energy/mood or whatever has been getting darker and darker and darker. I was still feeling generally ok, but I was finding myself feeling sick and tired of just about everything. Now though? I feel great! It's amazing to me how much better I feel now. I just have much more energy, I'm more cheerful and positive, I'm calmer and more relaxed, and indeed, I'm just feeling generally happy. I love how I feel right now!Now, I know from experience with Joy that it's still possible to become angry or irritated, but it doesn't last nearly as long and it's not quite as easy to become angry or irritated. So, don't get the wrong impression. It's not going to work miracles, but it DEFINITELY works as advertised.Maybe it's because now I'm pairing it up with CBD oil. Maybe it's because I'm isolating a pairing of Turmeric with Joy (Organic India does say you can optimize Joy with Turmeric or Neem). Maybe I'm just having an extra good day, I don't know. All I know is, this is the first truly good day I've had since I stopped taking it on March 2nd. So I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence. I just feel good! I am very glad I stopped taking it for a while there because now I know for SURE that it works.

Excellent product for a natural mood lift.

I'll start by saying that I'm 32 years old, in good health, eat well and I exercise. I also have 5 children under the age of 9 that I homeschool. I've suffered from depression/anxiety/stress and exhaustion. I've tried different herbs over the years, meds never mixed well with my system and I try to do things naturally when possible. I took Sam-e for a couple of years which helped my moods, but maybe I became immune to it, or needed a higher dose, because it seemed to wear off. It was also too expensive to keep taking (our income took a hit.) I've tried L-theanine, which claims to help anxiety, and it maybe took 10% of the edge off. Not enough for me to purchase a new bottle. I've also tried things here and there (can't remember what) after suggestions from friends or family.When my bottle of L-theanine ran out, I began searching for something new to try. This looked promising, but I'm addicted to product reviews and couldn't find any online anywhere. It was inexpensive enough for me to try, so I gave it a shot. Today is Wednesday, and I started taking them last Friday. I take 2 for breakfast, 1 for lunch. These are working incredibly well for me. Like, miraculously well. I wish I could explain just how exhausted I've been the last 2 years. Our house has been a disaster. It's been at that point where it was so overwhelming not knowing where to start, that nothing gets done. I could barely get out of bed some mornings, and I think my mood was partially caused by my lack of energy. The next day, I noticed a difference when we had to be at a lot of outdoor functions, and I wasn't upset/irritable about it. Wasn't even tired. Same thing the next day, had to do a lot, and I wasn't snapping at everyone around me or feeling like I needed a nap. Then my monthly cycle hit (sorry men) which normally intensifies my exhaustion. The first 2 days I'm usually worthless, but I've deep cleaned 2 bathrooms, done all laundry in the house (even ironed), ripped down old shelved, painted a bathroom, rearranged kids bedrooms & vacuumed the entire house, just to name a few things. Now, I know that many of you do this on a regular basis, but I haven't been able to! Also, during all of this intense spring cleaning, I wasn't high strung. I was able to take breaks, lounge w/the kids, laugh with them. The house no longer seems overwhelming. For whatever reason, my minds sees all the clutter but is now confident that it'll all get taken care of in time. Not overnight, but maybe over a week...and I'm content with that! These caps have been wonderful, and I'm so thankful for them. I just kissed my husband as he walked in the door, and normally I'm stressed out about something and barely even acknowledge him. Sad. Give them a try, I'm so glad I took a chance!

Feeling of happiness--in a bottle. Works as advertised.

I bought these to alleviate my winter blues…I usually like that brand and buy other herbs from them regularly with no issueThis time and as other reviews mentioned I felt bad, tired, low energy… then a week later I started testing for Covid as I felt something was wrong and blame it on the virus… I was always testing negative… then fever started, it was mild then reached 104!!! No Tylenol would bring it down… rushed to the doctor who did a few test (flu, Covid etc) and as the main suspect were negative he sent me to the ER. Over there they made more test to see that my liver was extremely inflamed, in a worrisome way… I was seen my a gastroenteritis that go me admitted at the hospital… I was there for a few days while more test were being done… it was not a virus, it was a herbal poisoning… the only new herbs I took the weeks that led to this were these…. I started reading and herbal supplement are not regulated in any way and are often produced in factories next to toxic products, contamination are frequent and if you don’t stop the intake it lead to a liver failure that can be fatal if you don’t get a transplant… my inflammation got better as soon as I stopped these herbs… this is very alarming and even if there are only polluted batches here and there, they can cost you your life… BE SAFE!

This product works for me if I get in a funk or have the blues. This year has clearly been a little weird and lacking joy is probably a common thing for some right now. I take these during seasons of life that feel a little harder. My little brother was having some stress and anxiety a few weeks ago so I gave him a weeks worth and he was calling at the end of the week asking where to buy them. I think they help.
