When it comes to supporting optimal mental and emotional well-being, supplements like herbal adaptogens, nervines, mood-focused herbs, and nootropics can be valuable tools. But with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to choose the right one. That’s why we wrote this guide to help you choose the Dr. Green Life mood support supplements that best suit your specific needs.


*The products featured in this guide are for adults & adolescents. As always, please consult your doctor before beginning a new supplement protocol.

Wholly Zen Master™


Best for: Stress, brain fog, and blood sugar dips


If you’re feeling mentally foggy, irritable, or unbalanced, Wholly Zen Master™ can help stabilize your mood by addressing stress, reducing worry, and supporting optimal blood sugar control (nipping episodes of “hanger” in the bud). The star herb of this formula, Holy Basil, has long been used in Ayurvedic medicine to help with stress, mood, cognition, metabolism, and overall good health (1). This formula is great when you need to clear your mind, find inner balance, and enhance vitality.✝︎


Adrenal & Focus™


Best for: Exhaustion and lack of focus


When you’re running on empty and struggling to concentrate, Adrenal & Focus™ can offer much-needed support. It’s ideal for those who feel drained, unmotivated, and unable to concentrate on daily tasks due to prolonged stress. This formula features energizing ginseng (2) and eleuthero (3), plus other adaptogenic herbs that build up your inner reserves for lasting vitality rather than a blip of energy.✝︎


Adrenal Me This!™


Best for: Long-term stress that’s worn you down and left you frazzled


Sometimes life feels like a marathon! If the ongoing challenges of everyday life have left you feeling burned out, frazzled, and depleted, Adrenal Me This!™ is a good choice to support your body’s resilience. Calming ashwagandha (7) is balanced with energizing ginseng (2), rejuvenating rhodiola (9), and other adaptogenic herbs for uplifted mood, energy, and stamina.✝︎ 


Mother's Peace & Calm™


Best for: Overstimulation, sadness, and worries


For days when you feel emotionally overwhelmed, sad, or worried, Mother's Peace & Calm™ helps soothe an overstimulated nervous system. This nervine supplement features uplifting lemon balm (4) and fortifying reishi (5) and can be a good fit when you’re feeling tired or down and you need a gentle way to nourish the nervous system, restore calm, and encourage an optimistic state of mind.✝︎


Mother’s Energy™


Best for: Moms needing a steady, energizing boost


Mother’s Energy™ is an energizing herbal formula designed specifically for moms who give their all every day. This supplement features a combination of uplifting adaptogenic herbs to provide mood support and calm, steady energy that lasts without a crash. A touch of ginger adds an instant, uplifting kick, helping you feel revitalized as soon as it touches your tongue. Perfect for supporting endurance, stamina, and a strong immune system, this blend is your go-to for busy days when you need to be as strong as a mother!✝︎


Keepin’ The Peace Kava™


Best for: Nervousness, anger, irritability, and trouble sleeping


If nervousness, irritability, or trouble sleeping are your main concerns, Keepin’ The Peace Kava™ may provide the relief you need. Kava is known for its calming effects (6), making this supplement an excellent choice when nervous tension and occasional difficulty with sleep are present. Also available as a capsule.✝︎ 


Take A Chill Pill 


Best for: Feeling wired and tired, unable to relax, snappy, and irritated


Take A Chill Pill™ is designed for those moments when you’re both exhausted and keyed up, feeling snappy, irritable, and unable to unwind. This supplement features ashwagandha and passionflower — two herbs that help you relax without leaving you feeling groggy (7,8). Fortifying rhodiola helps you stay strong and holy basil helps you find your center. This formula is great for stressful days when you need to calm down quickly and yet still feel mentally sharp enough to juggle all your daily demands.✝︎ 


Nerve Tonic Tea


Best for: Uplifting and calming self-care moments


Nerve Tonic Tea is the perfect blend for when you need to brew a cup of calm and take a moment for yourself. This soothing tea features uplifting herbs, like lemon balm (4) and rose petals, which help elevate your mood and provide a sense of lightness. They’re balanced with calming herbs like hops (10) and skullcap (11), known for their ability to settle frayed nerves and quiet racing thoughts, and support emotional well-being. Whether you’re winding down after a long day or preparing for a restful night’s sleep, this tea offers a gentle, comforting way to reset.✝︎


Black Cumin Seed Oil


Best for: Overall mood improvement


A versatile favorite, Black Cumin Seed Oil is known as a panacea or “cure-all” in many systems of traditional medicine, ranging from the Mediterranean region to East and Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa. In addition to its many benefits throughout the body, Black Cumin Seed Oil has been used traditionally to help recover from “dispiritedness and exhaustion” (12). If you’re looking for an overall mind-body-spirit booster, with side benefits for the immune system, lungs, metabolism, blood sugar control, and more… then this oil could be a great addition to your routine. Also available as a capsule.✝︎


How To Choose Your Supplement(s)


When putting together a supplement protocol, it may be helpful to follow these steps:

  1. Journal about your starting state and include the types of mental-emotional symptoms* that you’re experiencing, along with the frequency and intensity.

  2. Match your symptoms with herbal supplements. Try to find the one or two supplements that cover the bulk of your issues - a targeted approach is usually best. Pro tip: omega 3 fatty acids and magnesium can also help support healthy mood regulation and combine well with any of the above herbal remedies. See this article for more info on the benefits of omegas: Omega Fatty Acids: Nutritional Sources & Health Benefits Explained.

  3. Check in with your doctor to identify any herb-drug interactions and to help you decide if this routine is right for you.

  4. Take your supplements for at least 1-2 months.

  5. Refer back to the notes that you wrote down in step one; take note if you’ve felt noticeable improvements.

  6. Decide if you’re going to continue taking the supplements, switch protocols, or stop altogether. Consult your doctor for help with this step.
