Nutricost 5-HTP 200mg, 120 Vegetarian Capsules (5-Hydroxytryptophan) - Non-GMO & Gluten Free

I take this before bedtime every night and sleep quality has improved significantly!! I stay asleep longer, have nice dreams and there are literally NO side effects!! I told my doctor about it and now she’s using it too! What a great find!!!

Edit:TLDR: eat a few crackers or a couple candies before taking 5-HTP, and nothing elseI have learned more about the biochemistry of 5-HTP, and exactly what you eat with it makes a huge difference.An empty stomach will cause nausea as most of the 5-HTP is absorbed quickly and converted into serotonin near the gut.A protein rich snack will block absorption of 5-HTP, as the other amino acids compete for absorption via the LAT1 transport.A carb rich snack will not compete for absorption in the gut, will reduce the nausea, and the increased insulin will suppress other amino acids in the blood, leading to preferential transport of 5-HTP across the blood brain barrier, leading to much more pronounced effects on mood and focus.I think the inconsistent effects I mentioned in the original review was from me switching to a higher protein breakfast, as opposed to the relatively sugary trail mix I had before.---original review:The quality is inconsistent. I got a bottle that had zero effect (ordered October 2024), but the lack of effect made it INCREDIBLY clear how much it had been working before then.So, when it works, it gives me a buzzy energry that lasts throughout the day. It has completely changed my productivity at work, and literally carried me to employee of the month.The nausea is important to address. DO NOT take this on an empty stomach. You will feel absolutely terrible, and unable to do anything for a couple hours.That being said, it works best if you have very little in your stomach. If I eat just a handful of trail mix or something, it will come on strong, and last for hours without making me sick.Hopefully the next bottle is full strength again. I assume the heat in a warehouse or delivery truck deactivated it.

Lo tomó durante el día y realmente me ayuda a disminuir la ansiedad y a mejorar el ánimo 🙌🏻

Brilliant organization (Nutricost), so I refuse to drop a 1-star simply because the compound itself has virtually zero effect on appetite. That's exactly why I took these (been taking these). I've taken THREE tablets, at three different times throughout the day for about 2 weeks now... NOTHING.. NO CHANGE. If these have some other mental health benefit that is useful for you, give them a try.. Didn't notice any change there either, though my mental health (depression, etc.), is pretty much fine for the most part.

Exce deliv ser, much fas t i expected

Excelente llego a Ecuador 2 días antes de lo esperado. Cumple con lo que es

I have some trouble with anxiety and have heard of 5-htp being used for anxiety and depression. There’s literature out there that support these claims so I’m not saying it doesn’t work, I just think it’s widely variable from person to person. I took my first dose last night and began to feel nauseous about an hour later and started to get a slight headache. This morning the nausea continued and my headache feels far worse. I’m not willing to take more as this obviously is not a positive reaction. There’s no possibility of returning so I would suggest buying from a local grocery store or something first before here as they are more likely to give you your money back if you have a bad reaction.

Helps me sleep!
