New Roots Joyful
New Roots Herbal Joyful is formulated with nutrients designed to support a healthy mood balance and help manage daily stress.
Joyful contains 11 botanical extracts, amino acids, and bioactive forms of vitamins pivotal for foundational mood support. The primary focus of Joyful is twofold: to support a healthy, balanced mood and to help the body manage its natural response to the triggers that generate daily stress.
Six of the nutrients in New Roots Herbal Joyful—5-HTP, ʟ-tryptophan, vitamin D3, methyl folate, methylcobalamin, and vitamin B6—collectively support healthy serotonin production and normal neurotransmitter metabolism. The additional five constituents—ʟ-theanine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), magnolia, Phellodendron, and san qi—work synergistically to promote a sense of calm and relaxation.
Mood and stress are multifaceted wellness factors dependent upon a mosaic of lifestyle elements. New Roots Herbal Joyful delivers mood-specific foundational nutrients that can help support your daily well-being.
