Now Foods, 5-HTP, 50 mg, 180 Veg Capsules

It's perfect

I love 5-htp by the now brand. I have been taking this for about 6 months now at nighttime. It helps me with relaxation and calming my nervous system. I notice a difference in my mood when I don't take it. I feel my thoughts are calmer too. Of course, do your research and find out the right stack for your mental health but this is something that really helps me. I recommend this product.

They seem to help with sleep. Hubby and I both take them, and like them.

5-HTP is working great for me.I had been feeling down for a few years and had a pretty negative outlook on life in general. I knew that mentality wasn't me but didn't know what to do about it. Also, it seemed like no matter how much I wanted to get something done I just had zero motivation or desire to do it.I went to the the doctor almost three years ago and was prescribed an antidepressant. I took it for over three months with no change other than just not caring as much so I weaned myself off of it. If you have ever done that you know how rough it is.Two months ago I went to another doctor for a heart issue that was brought on by stress. After blood work i was told i was low on vitamin D and my doc recommended 5-HTP and a 5000IU D vitamin to take daily. That evening I ordered this bottle.All I can say is wow! After two weeks I started feeling a little better. Everyday after that things just seemed a little brighter. Things are great now. I feel like my old self again. After over three years of being depressed it is a huge change for me to be out of that slump. I wish I had discovered this a long time ago and not spent so many years like I did. A month ago I added a Super B Complex vitamin to my diet which gave me a ton of energy along with the good mood and desire to do things. Life is good.I'm not saying this will work the same for everyone but I would recommend you give it a try. Ask your doctor what dose to take and try it for a month. My doc told me to start taking 50 mg a day for 2weeks then up it to 100.Good luck!

I take a 100 mg dose at bedtime. I began with 50mg in May 2017 and increased when effectiveness seemed to taper off. But I have not had to increase again. Has helped me sleep more restfully. I dream very anxious dreams and would wake in the middle of the dream and be unable to go back to sleep, my mind still racing. Tried Melatonin which helped falling asleep but once I woke up in middle of night, I could not go back to sleep. Not sure how this helps but I think it is helping me finish a sleep cycle. I still wake most night but not in the middle of my dreams and I fall back asleep very quickly. I sometimes remember enough to know I was dreaming, but no details, they do not invade my consciousness. I take a time release version in the AM. Between the two, my anxiety is down and my mood is (do I dare say) stable under stress. I have been battling with this since hitting menopause 7 years ago. I am a type A personality multi-tasker and a doctor said she thought the anxiety may be fed by my frustration in reduced memory and recall. My first success was with Phosphatidyl Serine in the AM, which I began 3.5 years ago, but I still needed more help and this is it.

The ultimate chill pill without making me feel tired.
