(More customer reviews)SHORT VERSION: In a nut shell, 5-HTP can trigger serotonin or melatonin meaning alertness or sleepiness. You need to know a lot about this product before you take it. Serotonin and melatonin are hormones in our bodies--everyone's body, the first makes you awake and the second makes you sleep. Serotonin is triggered by sunlight and melatonin by the night time/darkness. However some people can have deficiencies anyway. It will be triggered differently in everyone--dosage is different for everyone too.
If you're really curious, here's this to read:
::PLEASE READ ALL BEFORE TRYING THIS OR IF ITS FAILED FOR YOU BEFORE::
I don't think people know that Serotonin is what we need during the day, its naturally enhanced/produced by the sun (its very important to be outside or open your blinds during the day). For some people its good to take HTP in the morning because it gives you a nice boost all day while having a mood-relaxing affect as well.
Melatonin is what our bodies start to naturally produce when its dark and make us sleep. These two things are a hormone that is found in *everyone*, just some people have a deficiency. For example, chronic headaches could be a sign of low melatonin and obviously insomnia is too. It may help to ask your doctor to help you decide and find out which is low etc. Everyone's dosage will be different, if you have side effects then it may be you just need a lower dose--your body is trying to get rid of what it doesn't need.
Of course, everyone reacts different to certain things but that's the general idea^. Perhaps htp triggers some people's melatonin? There are different Serotonin boosters, you can eventually find one for sleep or energy. (cool tip: Chocolate can enhance serotonin which is why it can make you feel good--which is probably why you crave it when your sad! Besides taste that is. Lol.) Anyway: "5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin and a trigger for melatonin" It all depends on who you are and how much you need and how it will be triggered when you take it. You have to really test this product in several ways before you know what's best. If you just want to sleep, I suggest Valerian root and Melatonin--can't go wrong there. There's several other natural sleep aids you can look up.
I find Serotonin to be a good enhancement to my overall life, anyone should buy this product but be open to trial and error and eventual success. You will either sleep great OR have a non-jittery energy filled day and/or feel happier.
Anyone just google "can htp trigger melatonin or serotonin" and/or other variations and be very familiar with things before you start taking them. Just be careful because drug companies may hate them for example and some people may not know what they are talking about, you have to really put a lot of work into these type of things. It's worth it though, I promise!
I hope this helps everyone =)
