Alredy after the first week of consuming there was a progress concerning sleeping and reduction of anxiety. The anti-depressing score was evident already after two weeks, there also has been a remarkable dropping of the amount on Beck's scale for evaluation of depression. Throughout the research of the efficiency with depression symptomatology the dayly dosage for alcoholics wasn’t over the amount of 150mg.
