I rather stumbled across 5-HTP as I was looking for something to help with stress relief, insomnia, and possibly weight loss. I am an elementary school counselor and a single mom so I was looking for supplement that would give me assistance in these areas. The dosage I take is actually 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg before I go to bed, and my doctor has approved those amounts for me. I definitely can feel a sense of relaxation as soon as I take it in the morning. It helps me to have clarity of thought and a sense of peace as I handle sometimes very delicate situations with my students and handle the stresses of daily life. It also helps me to relax and fall asleep easily at night. I have been taking it now for approximately three months and will not ever go a day without it again. Along with exercise, also as a stress reliever, and a low-carb diet I have also lost approximately 15 pounds in the past couple of months when I have not been able to lose weight in four years, so I guess that could also possibly be attributed to the benefits of 5-HTP. I tell everyone I know about how wonderful this product is and have been giving out samples, bc I feel so strongly about how beneficial it is. I do a lot of research and this particular brand was highly recommended and I have found it to be very effective. I would very highly recommended, and do - almost on a daily basis! In my personal opinion I believe that 5-HTP is one of those life-changing supplement that you will not be disappointed with. And this particular company, BioScience Nutrition, has been very responsive and supportive through customer service. They even offered to give me a free bottle based on my review, but that's just a bonus, since it's part of my daily routine from here on out! 👍🏻🙂 Read more

Ill start just by saying this product has drastically improved the quality of my life. I had been experiencing some really bad anxiety. Let me explain it. My anxiety was just a horrible feeling that I felt trapped in and couldnt get out of. It was washed over me all day and I couldnt do anything properly, like my job or take care of my kids. It was really horrible and I didnt know what to do. I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine that made me sleepy but my symptoms always came back later. Also I noticed that the day after I would have a couple drinks it would be REALLY bad, unbearable. I tried so many thing. I knew I had a problem but narrowing it down of how to fix was hard. I tried SO many things! Finally I decided to try to help my serotonin levels by boosting 5htp, and it WORKED! after a couple of days of supplementation I started to notice a difference. my sleep got better, my focus was sharp and my anxiety was gone! I kept taking it for about a month only taking one pill a day and I felt fine. The scientist in me wanted to make sure it was the 5htp working so i came back off the supplement for a week and sure enough symptoms started to return a couple days off the supplement. the crazy thing was how fast it was able to work again. after taking the supplement again the symptoms went away in less than a day! I hope this helps other people in my shoes. it was a horrible experience and Im sure so many people deal with the same thing. Read more

Okay, this is going to be hard to believe. I am recovering from anorexia which led to bullimia which led to binge ed. I have had serious anxiety/depression when it comes to food and simply life in general. I refuse to go on any prescription medications because I know the side effects they can have. I have tried just about everything to get my happiness back and anxiety gone - all sorts of supplements, natural anti anxiety pills, exercise (which always helps but it still wasn’t quite enough), therapy, etc etc etc. I have had this constant gnawing anxiety hunger in my stomach for MONTHS which would not go away no matter what I ate. I felt like my life was falling apart and that I would never have normal feeling in my stomach again. 2 days into taking this twice a day and I am a new person. 2 DAYS. I know it’s not placebo as I’ve tried many other supplements with no effect, and really had low expectations for this. I feel like I’m back to my normal self. I am so much happier, I have energy, and my urges to use food to cope are essentially gone. I still have my struggles, but the fact that this has given me a full 360 in only 2 days gives me so much hope for the future. The gnawing feeling in my stomach is completely eliminated allowing me to be so much more in tune with my body. For the first time in months I’m excited to go out with friends rather than forcing myself to go out. The future looks good and it’s all thanks to this product. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I sure am thankful because it saved me. Read more

There is so much to say about this product. Every month I would fall into a deep depression, of which I would shut the world out. It would last a day or two until I'd convince myself to get through it. Some days were much harder than others. I have been taking 5-HTP for almost two months now and I feel like a complete different human being with more normal emotions instead of being/feeling all over the place. I laugh more, have fun and I find myself smiling way more often than before. I used to allow myself to fall into the victim of my situations type of feelings. This no longer happens. By no means am I saying this product cured me of having emotions. This product HAS allowed me to be a happier person with what I feel is normal emotions/hormonal changes during that time of the month.Side note, I do not take any additional medication for anxiety/depression. This is the only product I take andI highly recommend. Read more

I struggle with SEVERAL health conditions, and very severe insomnia. I’ve been taking tryptophan and magnesium for awhile. But it wasn’t enough. My doctor recommended 5-HTP. I tried one brand, but didn’t notice a difference. I tried this brand and will never go back!! Within the first few nights, I felt more rested, I stayed asleep for longer periods of time. I also started taking 1 capsule in the morning now, and notice a huge difference in my mood and anxiety. I’m very attached to this brand after a few months. I hope to have this product available for a very very long time! Read more

Realmente tenía muchas esperanzas de que estas pastillas me hicieran dormir mejor y me ayudaran a sentirme descansada durante el día, pero los efectos secundarios de solamente una pastilla fueron terribles! Muchísimas náuseas, sentía que me dolía todo el cuerpo, sobretodo las encías y la cabeza de un solo lado, y el malestar me duró 3 días! Read more

Lo comencé a tomar y alteró los estados del sueño despertándome constantemente y teniendo sueños lúcidos que no ayudan a descansar, además de contener demasiado calcio que no es bueno para la salud. He comprado otra marca y la diferencia es notoria. No lo recomiendo. Read more
