Product Description

Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is a fast-acting botanical mood supplement formulated with natural extracts of Espand, an ancestral plant used by the Zoroastrian priests of ancient Iran in pursuit of otherworldly wisdom and a sublime state of mind — The Good Mind. Ushta also includes the natural extracts of Suan Zao Ren (Sour Jujube seed), a plant used for more than 2,000 years in Traditional Chinese Medicine and traditionally taken to support calm and restful sleep.

Magi’s team of PhD scientists and ethnopharmacologists identified a unique synergistic effect when combining a precise dose of purified extracts from these two plants — easing the everyday tension and nervous unease that can block empathy and openness. Ushta can be taken preemptively before a demanding situation, or on-demand when you feel the first somatic signs of tension.

FAQ

How will I feel after taking Ushta Mood Boost Supplement?
  • Most people report feeling light, calm, open, and empathetic within 15 minutes after taking the Ushta Mood Boost Supplement without physiological effects and with the sensation lasting all day. Some in our community describe it as similar to a consistent, standardized daily micro-dose.
  • Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is not formulated for productivity, but most people report feeling more productive at work due to increased feelings of openness, social empathy, and self kindness.
Should I meditate on Ushta Mood Boost Supplement?
  • Meditation is not necessary to achieve the benefits of Ushta Mood Boost Supplement, it’s generally good advice to always get more meditation.
  • Meditation on Ushta Mood Boost Supplement will enable a warm and empathetic meditation sensation that is a good fit for loving kindness meditation. Whereas the sensation of non-focus and introspection facilitated by Stard Relaxed Awareness supplement is uniquely suited for meditation, Ushta Mood Boost Supplement can be taken in any context.
Can I take Ushta Mood Boost Supplement every day?
  • We designed Ushta Mood Boost Supplement so that you can take it safely every day without becoming dependent: as part of a daily habit, preemptively before a stressful or socially-demanding engagement, or on-demand in response to feelings of tension.
Why is it best to take Ushta Mood Boost Supplement on an empty stomach?
  • The majority of your body’s neurotransmitters are in the gut, not the brain. For this reason we recommend taking Ushta Mood Boost Supplement in the morning before eating, as food can interfere with neurotransmitter absorption/metabolization. While this is not a requirement, the closer your stomach is to empty, the higher the bioavailability.
Is Ushta Mood Boost Supplement safe?
  • Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is safe when taken as directed at the recommended dosage.
  • We designed our Ushta™ formula from the purified natural plant extracts of Espand and Suan Zao Ren. In addition to their anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, the natural beta-Carbolines extracted from Espand also function as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) [1] that can cause an increase in blood pressure when consuming foods containing tyramine [2].
  • The levels of tyramine in food have been decreasing over time, thanks to advancements in agricultural technology and improvements in food processing and storage. Although tyramine related hypertension affects only a small minority of the population [3], we recommend avoiding tyramine-rich foods when taking Ushta Mood Boost Supplement. Taking Ushta Mood Boost Supplement on an empty stomach will also mitigate the risk of hypertension and nausea.
How does it work?
  • Our Mood Boost Supplement contains Ushta™, a precise minidose formulation of Espand-derived beta-Carbolines and Suan Zao Ren-derived antioxidants that begin to affect the central nervous system within 20 minutes of being ingested. The compounds in Ushta™ have been shown to:
    • Provide neuroprotective antioxidant effects and help inhibit neurotoxins [4][5]
    • Help modulate inflammatory signaling [5][7]
    • Support neurogenesis by increasing BDNF [6] and hNPC levels [7]
    • Modulate neuroreceptors such as serotonin, dopamine, acetylcholine, histamine, and imidazoline, that are involved in perception and consciousness [8]
    • Modulate the brain’s limbic system, which is involved in semantic memory and emotional processing, to ease the rate of switching between states of fear and security.
  • Through these actions, the Ushta™ formula supports stress relief and feelings of empathy, openness, and kindness.

Ancestral Philosophy

Espand – Holy Plant Wisdom

  • Ushta refers to a state of bliss achieved by those who pursue truth for the righteousness of truth itself. We created Ushta Mood Boost Supplement with the inspiration of achieving bliss by calming the everyday tension and nervous unease that we humans are prone to limit ourselves with.
  • The key ingredient in Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is Espand, also known as Syrian Rue or Peganum Harmala. Espand is an abundant source of beta-carbolines [9], a class of naturally occurring organic compounds with neuromodulatory and neuroprotective properties [10]. Beta-carbolines are found naturally in a few plants including Espand (P. Harmala) and Banisteriopsis caapi, the ancestral Amazonian vine used in traditional ceremonial brews [11]. Thanks to modern science, we now understand the neurochemistry behind what our ancestors discovered thousands of years ago.

Suan Zao Ren – Elixir of Life

  • Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is also formulated with the natural extracts of Suan Zao Ren, an important plant used for more than 2,000 years in the pharmacopeia of Traditional Chinese Medicine and traditionally taken to support calm and restful sleep. Suan Zao Ren is referred to as the elixir of life, as the folkloric mantra goes “three a day keeps you young forever.”
  • Suan Zao Ren contains a high level of antioxidants that affect the brain’s GABA receptors and are known to promote feelings of calm by interacting with the brain’s limbic system, which is involved with semantic (long-term) memory storage and emotional processing. These antioxidants in Suan Zao Ren synergistically amplify the mood, focus, and empathy-supporting effects of Espand-derived beta-Carbolines in combination.

Pharmaceutical Science

Beta-Carbolines – Ancestral Secret to Neurological Health

Beta-carbolines such as harmine [12] are unique neuromodulators that have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in neurons [13] and promote neurogenesis by increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [14] and human neural progenitor cells (hNPC) [15].

Beta-carbolines also interact with the sleep cycle via the pineal gland, the part of the brain that regulates the body’s circadian rhythm. The pineal gland regulates the sleep cycle via synthesis of melatonin from serotonin (the “happiness hormone”) [16], and is also believed to be a site of endogenous neuromodulator synthesis via alternate pathways [17].

The Science of Mood & Flow

Mood, motivation and emotional balance run on the brain’s monoamines — serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline. Espand’s β-carbolines (harmine and harmaline) are reversible, competitive inhibitors of monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A), the enzyme that breaks these neurochemicals down. By gently slowing that breakdown, a precise low dose helps sustain monoamine tone — the neurochemistry of an easy, uplifted mood [18].

The calm side of Ushta traces to the amygdala, the brain’s emotional-switching hub. In preclinical research, harmine enhanced GABAergic (inhibitory, calming) transmission onto basolateral-amygdala neurons [19], and harmaline showed anxiolytic-like activity through the serotonergic (5-HT) system [20]. This is the very circuit our own EEG readings track below: with Ushta, theta–gamma synchronicity in the basolateral amygdala — a signature of rapid fear/safety switching — goes down, while calm mid-frequency alpha activity goes up.

Meditation is characterized by mid-frequency alpha brainwaves that are correlated with non-directive attention and alertness in waking states. Supplementation with a precise dose of beta-Carbolines such as in Stard Relaxed Awareness supplement has been shown in individuals to increase mid-frequency alpha brainwaves during physically inactive forms of meditation (e.g. Vipassana Open Awareness, Transcendental Fixed Attention).

Espand + Suan Zao Ren – Plant Synergies

The calming constituents of Suan Zao Ren — chiefly the flavonoid spinosin and the saponins jujubosides A and B — act mainly through the brain’s serotonergic (5-HT) and GABAergic systems [21][22], promoting feelings of calm via the limbic system involved in semantic (long-term) memory and emotional processing. This is the natural complement to Espand: the β-carbolines gently raise monoamine tone for an uplifted mood, while Suan Zao Ren’s actives help steady it — lift without agitation.

Research has shown that stress is characterized by high theta-gamma wavelength synchronicity in the basolateral amygdala region of the limbic system. This pattern is thought to characterize rapid emotional switching between states of fear and safety. Antioxidants derived from Suan Zao Ren have been shown to decrease theta-gamma wavelength synchronicity in the basolateral amygdala, contributing towards a steadier emotional state during semantic memory recall.

Ushta Mood Boost Supplement is formulated with a precise combination of Espand-derived beta-Carbolines and Suan Zao Ren-derived extracts in order to produce the synergistic effect of these two plants, and has been shown in individuals during meditation to:

  • Increase mid-frequency alpha brainwaves
  • Decrease theta-gamma wavelength synchronicity in the basolateral amygdala
