I have heard this "dietary supplement" takes about a month to kick in to work against depression. is this true? Do you not feel more "optimistic" the same day of taking it?

hi, I have had a friend who took this during a hard time, and if i remember right she felt results after a few days, but on anti-anxiety/anti-depression medicine it can take up to three weeks.
