5.0 out of 5 stars Quality, trusted, reliable, and competitive.
The media could not be loaded. I have trusted this brand for 25 years. The 5HTP is a key part of my sleep routine, consistently helping me without any issues the next day if I don't take too much. Some people have no problems with that dose. I find that 5HP improves my sleep, but timing, dosage, and food intake are important. I take it with food to avoid stomach problems, and I have none, especially taking a low 50mg; only one medication I can think of in my sleep protocol, trazodone, has caused stomach issues on an empty stomach. I make sure to take it earlier than bedtime so that the effects of all the sleep medication I use will wear off when rising; if not left in the mouth for a long period, there’s no taste, and I don't think in 25 years I have ever tasted it. Also. The capsules are easy for me to swallow with a gulp of my favorite electrolytes. I used to take tablets, and those are smaller, but I have found this brand and dosage are the best price for their quality. I don't buy brands that aren't established with a track record like NOW has. So, I find the value solid especially since I trust in the brand. While some may take higher doses for sleep, calmness, etc, I only use 50mg because I rely on multiple supplements for long-term insomnia, alongside a couple of prescriptions. I cannot sleep without medication, basically at all. My sleep protocol was assisted by an expert in the field of pain and fatigue and has made a significant difference in my sleep. With improved sleep comes less pain, fatigue, and better focus. I'm grateful to NOW for their quality and consistency. No odor I have ever noticed, unlike, say, valerian, which has never agreed with me. Sweet dreams.
5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Effective
I began using this product simultaneously with Biotech Nutritions Dopa Mucuna. I take 100mg in the morning to hit peak blood level, then maintain with another 50mg at 1:30pm, 5:30pm and 8:30pm. Arrived at dosing schedule after researching 5-HTP metabolic action, half-life etc. Results were outstanding almost from the first day. Much lighter state of mind, much lighter mood. Like a heavy blanket being lifted. Also a natural-feeling calmness, not like being doped or numbed. It has been many weeks now and the positive effects have not faded. Everyone's internal chemistry is different, but for me this product has brought a huge improvement in quality of mental and emotional life.
5.0 out of 5 stars I use these to boost mood...
I first discovered 5-HTP many years ago, recommended by a friend for low mood. I started taking another brand 100mg 5-HTP and it significantly helped. Life added more stressors so I went on a lose dose SSRI anti-depressant. This helped but the effects wore off. I really did not want to be on an SSRI long term so I tapered off of it and felt sad again. Decided to go back on 5-HTP at a smaller dose. I am very impressed by NOW 5-HTP and it has given me a boosted mood even at 50mg. If I decide I need more, I can always double up the dose.
4.0 out of 5 stars So Far, So Good: Anxiety, Depression, and Appetite Supressant.
I was recently advised by my neurologist to stop taking Zoloft. I thought I would remain unmedicated, but soon felt my symptoms creeping back in and was advised to try this supplement by the same doctor. I purchased 5-HTP with guarded expectations. I've been taking 50mg 3 times a day and as long as the doses are on time, my anxiety and depression remain greatly reduced. My appetite is also suppressed, and I find that my sleep is more restful and I require less sleep for the same amount of energy.Of course I did say "as long as the doses are on time", and that is the downside of my experience. I have found if the dose is late by even as little as 30 to 45 minutes, I feel a bit manic and my anxiety slides right back in. Another downside is that I don't require as much sleep. I am not quite ready to say that this 5-htp induced insomnia, but it's pretty close. I've gone from getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night with no naps to 4 or 5 with a short 20 to 30 minute nap during the day. I also have to remember to eat. I don't feel hunger very strongly until the dose begins to leave my system.I would recommend this supplement. I took another 5-htp brand before this one and felt like it must have been very bad quality because I felt no changes whatsoever in my depression or anxiety. This brand seems effective. I would buy it again.

I was facing a long-term family crisis and needed something to help me keep my emotions under control. This did the trick. Recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars Feeling great!
5-HTP is working great for me.I had been feeling down for a few years and had a pretty negative outlook on life in general. I knew that mentality wasn't me but didn't know what to do about it. Also, it seemed like no matter how much I wanted to get something done I just had zero motivation or desire to do it.I went to the the doctor almost three years ago and was prescribed an antidepressant. I took it for over three months with no change other than just not caring as much so I weaned myself off of it. If you have ever done that you know how rough it is.Two months ago I went to another doctor for a heart issue that was brought on by stress. After blood work i was told i was low on vitamin D and my doc recommended 5-HTP and a 5000IU D vitamin to take daily. That evening I ordered this bottle.All I can say is wow! After two weeks I started feeling a little better. Everyday after that things just seemed a little brighter. Things are great now. I feel like my old self again. After over three years of being depressed it is a huge change for me to be out of that slump. I wish I had discovered this a long time ago and not spent so many years like I did. A month ago I added a Super B Complex vitamin to my diet which gave me a ton of energy along with the good mood and desire to do things. Life is good.I'm not saying this will work the same for everyone but I would recommend you give it a try. Ask your doctor what dose to take and try it for a month. My doc told me to start taking 50 mg a day for 2weeks then up it to 100.Good luck!
