NOW Supplements, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 100 mg, Neurotransmitter Support*, 120 Veg Capsules

UPDATE: For the past 2 wks, I've been grieving the loss of my pet and also my son has left for 6 month, and I can't talk or see him. It has caused me to become very depressed and I couldn't stop crying. I wasn't eating or getting out of bed. I began taking these a few days ago and my mood has improved drastically. The first day I took 2 pills and by the following day, I felt much better. I now take 1 per day and I haven't cried once in the past few days since taking them. I pray they will continue to work. This time, my sleep hasn't been affected by the pills. I am able to sleep a good 8 hours without drowsiness. OLD REVIEW: If you do not have low serotonin levels or, issues with depression, anxiety, or insomnia/problems sleeping or staying asleep then DO NOT TAKE. I tried this because I thought it would help me focus but instead it just allowed me to fall into a deeper than normal sleep and I slept for nearly 24 hours and still woke up feeling like I could stay asleep forever. It did not make me groggy...I just felt like I welcomed sleep. I do not suffer from any symptoms that these supplements are intended for and what I've read, long-term use can negatively effect your body if you do not have low serotonin. These also caused me to have a little anxiety and moodiness. WebMD: It has been used safely in doses up to 400 mg daily for up to one year. But some people who have taken 5-HTP have developed a condition called eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS). EMS is a serious condition involving extreme muscle tenderness (myalgia) and blood abnormalities (eosinophilia). Other potential side effects of 5-HTP include heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, sexual problems, and muscle problems.

I’ve been taking NOW Foods 5-HTP (100 mg) daily for about 60 days, and the results have been excellent. My mood feels more balanced, I’m calmer throughout the day, and my sleep quality has noticeably improved — I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed. For the best results, I’ve been pairing it with BESTVITE Magnesium Glycinate, and the two work perfectly together. The magnesium helps my muscles relax and supports deeper, more restorative sleep, while the 5-HTP promotes a positive mood and relaxation. Both supplements are clean, vegan-friendly, and gentle on the stomach. After 60 days, I can honestly say this combo has made a remarkable difference in my stress, mood, and overall well-being.

I’ve struggled with insomnia for the last six years. Once I turned 40 I felt like my life was over. Sleep was a long lost friend I unappreciated more than I ever knew! I turned to functional medicine nps and she recommended I try 5htp. I added this to my regimen before bed along with magnesium glycinate and wow , it’s made a world of difference. I still need to take hrt progesterone but this has become a major game changer to help me get through the night. Ladies in perimenopause, do not skip trying this product.

I wish I could leave two separate reviews for this product. On one hand, they did exactly what I purchased them for, but on the other, horrible side effects! I’ll start with the good- these things worked wonders for my moodiness and snappiness. No more yelling at my kids and snapping at them when I’m annoyed. The calmness and patience they gave me was amazing. Now the bad- they gave me HORRIBLE stomach pains. I’m talking about so many trips to the bathroom, up at night with stomach pains and nausea. I had back labor with one of my births and it felt like that. I know it was these 5htp pills because I stopped taking them and then started back just to see. I even contemplated just pushing through the pains because the positive effects were so good, but I just can’t. So sad about it.

NOW Supplements, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 100 my, Neurotransmitter Support, 120 veg capsules: Always be responsible and consult with your physician before taking OTC supplements! These can have serious side effects depending on other medications or health conditions. I recommend reading the book, "The Mood Cure" by Julia Ross; it is a guide to help your determine if this product may be helpful, how and when to take it throughout the day, in combination with other supportive supplements: L-Tyrosine, GABA, DPLA (read the book, you may not need all four), in addition to other vitamins and minerals that assist these supplements to provide optimum benefits. The condensed description is that GABA helps with mood elevation (as in lifting the 'dark cloud'). I have used this successfully and experienced good results. Again, I cannot stress this enough, proceed with caution with the support and advice of your physician.

All is well. Everything has been taken care of. However, there was an incident where vitamins spilled out of the the container and the shoe cleaner leaked all over, causing it to completely drench everywhere! Had to be something to do with the heat and the monsoon…

It really helps me with depression and calming me down for me helps better than a script from my doctor for me that is, give it a try

I took 1 100mg capsule the first night and I had what was probably the best night's sleep in my entire life. I've had insomnia since I was 12 and I haven't gotten a good night's sleep since (I am 21 years old). But the morning after I took it for the first time I was feeling amazing! I had no appetite and barely ate anything all day but I had so much energy and I felt so happy. It was as if my normally very loud inner monologue telling me that I'm a terrible person was finally quiet. I felt at peace for the first time. This "high" lasted a few days and then it sort of mellowed out. I started taking 1 every 12 hours instead of every 24 hours and it was working decently well. It's been 2 months since I started taking it and I think it's stopped working completely. My mood has been a nightmare and I wake up every morning feeling completely exhausted as if I didn't sleep at all. I'm exhausted all day long. It also seems to have caused me to gain weight? I was surprised because for about a month I barely ate anything but I think the lack of food killed my metabolism and made me gain weight. I am going to stop taking it for a while and see how I feel. I hope this review was helpful! Best of luck!
