HOW IT COMPARES
While many wellness beverages make relaxation claims without data to support them, Woodstock Dark Berries is backed by a validated clinical instrument: the WHO-5 Well-Being Index. Participants saw a 31.85% improvement in WHO-5 scores during the product-use phase — a result that more than triples the 10% threshold considered meaningful in research settings, and that no alcoholic beverage can claim.
What Is the MoreBetter Infused Beverage Study?
MoreBetter is a real-world evidence research platform that tracks how hemp-derived products affect daily outcomes across multi-week periods. 125 participants enrolled in the Dark Berries study. Each person spent 7 days without the product, reporting daily on their mood, sleep, stress, and alcohol use — then 14 days using Dark Berries at whatever frequency felt natural to them.
No one was told how much to drink or when. This was a non-interventional, real-world study.

Did Dark Berries Improve Wellbeing?
Yes — significantly. Participants saw a 31.85% improvement in WHO-5 Well-Being scores during the product-use phase. The WHO-5 is a validated research tool used widely in clinical settings to measure overall wellbeing. A 10% difference is considered meaningful. Dark Berries more than tripled that threshold.

Did Woodstock Dark Berries Reduce Stress, Anxiety, and Depression?
Across all three DASS-21 subscales — the standard validated tool used in research to measure psychological distress — participants reported meaningful improvements during the product-use phase. Stress scores fell 27.7%, anxiety scores dropped 27.9%, and depression scores decreased 34%.
All participants began and ended in the Normal range on all three scales, so these results reflect feeling noticeably better, not clinical treatment. 76.8% of participants agreed they felt less stressed while using Dark Berries.
