The taste is delicious, and in a way, that citrus flavor %26 scent works to give you a tiny immediate boost- it's Vitamin C. I wouldn't say that I'm over the moon joyful or happy all the time since taking these of course, but I do feel like they've been helping a little to lift and balance my mood. On the days I take them, I'm a little less anxious %26 less prone to get cranky because of the little things. It could be a placebo effect to be honest, but I'll honestly take that over being snappy with my kids. I've been taking them pretty consistently for 2 months now.
