Happy Pills by Brain Pharma are a mood enhancing blend for those stress filled days, where clubbing your boss like a baby seal seems like a great idea. Happy Pills contain serotonin precursors that help put you in a better mood. This blend contains St. John’s Wort for anxiety and depression, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine for brain function, caffeine for energy, B vitamins for stress and energy, and 5-HTP for mood support.

The onset of Happy Pills is typically roughly half an hour, depending on whether or not it’s taken with food. For the caffeine sensitive individuals, do take it with food or a snack of some sort, as it does contain 200mg of the stuff. However, it’s mostly counterbalanced by the other relaxing elements. If your expecting this to replace a red bull, it’s not going really geared for that, despite the caffeine content.

What it does typically do is give a calming, relaxing, mood boost, that comes on softly, like being enveloped by a cloud of calmness. Things that normally would push your buttons don’t, and it’s much easier to with the jerks we all encounter, or not let that looming deadline stress your out to wit’s end. It can increase sensitivity to sunlight/ UV rays. So, be careful before taking these on a day at the beach, or hitting the tanning bed.

Nightlife’s Verdict:

It’s a fairly fast acting formula, so it’s great for use on those days that catch you by suprize. It’s not a great pre game supplement if your going out, but more suited for use at the office, when the kiddos are acting up, or trying to rush around and get things done. We suggest taking 2 of the pills(1 serving) when you feel the stress rising, and/or you start to lose your cool. Wait about half an hour, and you should be in a happy place.
