WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT:
As 5-HTP goes, this is good stuff and reasonably priced. It does seem to cause vivid dreams and it seems to have the effects it is supposed to. However, it should be noted that although you need take only 1-2 capsules for insomnia, the short half life of 5-HTP from "GRIFFONIA SEEDS" necessitates rather frequent dosing for depression and appetite suppression, usually 4x per day and attention needs to be paid to the timing of doses with other amino acids. Serotonin syndrome may also be an issue for some.
Whereas many important issues are not certain or resolved regarding 5-HTP dosage and usage, it does seem to do a lot of good when used appropriately. Naturally a lot more can be said and books have been written on 5-HTP. It is a product that must be used with considerable care and professional medical monitoring is advisable due to the serious conditions it is used for and its effects on human brain chemistry. [Depression, Obesity, Insomnia] Nevertheless after taking it for about 5 years I can say that I have experienced no negative side effects. Also, I have noticed reduced cravings for sweets, less anxiety in social situations and have slept better than I ever have. There has also been no sign of 5-HTP being habit forming in my experience.
5-HTP WITH L-TYROSINE?
If you are considering using this product for anxiety or sociophobic disorders 'NOW' makes a 200mg dosage combined with the amino acid L-tyrosine. Many have found the addition of 250 mg of L-tyrosine to be most helpful and the product still retains all of its other characteristics. This variation also contains 10 mg. of niacin and 3 mg. of Vitamin B6 per capsule. The addition of L-tyrosine is supposed to be helpful to those suffering from anxiety and sociophobic symptoms in addition to the usual things that 5-HTP by itself is supposed to be good for.
ABOUT BRANDS:
I have used several brands with good results. Nature's Way is probably my favorite because they have very strict quality control and it shows in the consistency of their products. They also include 10 mg. of vitamin B6 and 60 mg. of vitamin C in each 50 mg. dose of 5-HTP, which is 1 capsule. "NOW" is excellent as well and they offer 5-HTP with 250 mg. of L-Tyrosine which is compliments the effects of the 5-HTP. The 'SOURCE NATURAL' brand is one that I used in 2003 and 2004 with good results. The price offered here is for the 50 mg. dose, though a dose of at least 100 mg. is needed for therapeutic purposes. Nature's Way does offer the 100 mg. does as well as this smaller 50 mg. dose pictured here. [I am not affiliated with any product or company]
