Rating:  - Another must have for FMS
This is another supplement that I have taken for several years. I find that it is more helpful and has less side effects than RX anti-depressants that I have tried for my Fibromyalgia. Again, I am very pleased with Allstar Health, their pricing and excellent service. NOW products are the best, at least they have been for me. In this product, I especially like the VCaps because they are easy to swallow. Recently, I found out about a Dr. Daniel Amen and his research on the brain. That may be old ... Read More
Rating:  - Finally! Cost-effectove 5-HTP!
I take 5-HTP as a natural mood booster and I was pleased to find a reputable brand, in a 120 cap quantity, 100mg dose and veggie caps at such a reasonable price! I used to have to buy my 5-HTP retail, in smaller bottles and it was expensive. I am happy with this find and will buy this product again.
Rating: - Good for insomnia
I ended up trying 5-HTP originally because it was one of the few OTC products that has any good testing done on it in medical publications, and has shown a statistically significant effects on sleep.

5-HTP
5-HTP and Melatonin ought to be talked about together. First, let me say that I am not a medical doctor and I don't play one on TV. I have read a great deal about this subject, however.
5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin and can transfer across the blood brain barrier easily. Melatonin is a downstream product of Seratonin, i.e it is made from Seratonin. So, if you take 5-HTP and Melatonin together, it's like filling up a bucket by pouring water into it and patching a ... Read More
Rating: - A nice subtle effect.
I bought Now's 5-HTP with the intention of using it as a sleep aid. I found that it is best taken in the morning as the effects are calming instead of sleep inducing. It will smooth out the rough spots in your day and make time slide on by without tension or anxiety. I sometimes take this along with melatonin for sleep and boy the two combined can really give you a plesent and recuperative sleep. I recommend trying it.
