What buyers say about Nutricost 5-HTP 100mg, 240 Capsules (5-Hydroxytryptophan) - Vegetarian Capsules
My husband and I are both taking it, and so far we feel better, I think that is a step in the right direction, as my neurologist and immunologist say that the placebo effect is very real.
I sleep well because I don't get caught up with all the other stimuli at night and when I do I start to think and process a lot at 4am, it feels like 10.
I added the placebo to her vitamins after taking her off the medication, but didn't tell her what it was because I was leery of a placebo effect.
HTP is a nootropic and helps because it allows solid rest, which is something people expect nootropics to do.
I had depression and anxiety due to bothPTSD and Crohns disease, but started taking this and noticed a huge change, and it's helped immensely, because it is also spring.
Common Questions
I have taken L-Tryptophan for many years, but how is taking this better or worse?
I read that 5-HTP is a step closer to the serotonin production pathway and that it is more easily taken up in the brain than L-Tryptophan.
What is HTP's use?
It is taken to aid with stress management and sleep, but just like any other supplement, it won't work for everyone.
What herb is your 5 htp derived from?
I find one 100 mg capsule of 5-HTP at bed time sufficient.
What is the main source of 5-HTP in this supplement?
The source of the 5-HTP has no effect on the supplement itself.
Is it from Griffonia simplicifolia?
There's nothing indicating the source of the 5-Hydroxytryptophan on the label or on the website.
