Sleep and mood improvement
Most Useful Review
I am very pleased with this amino acid, Tryptophan, which is crucial for producing Vitamin B3 and thus serotonin, essential for mental health. It also aids in pain management, potentially reducing migraines, which are common. One capsule before bed, under the tongue, has noticeably enhanced my sleep quality and mood.

Effective migraine relief
Most Useful Review
Fortunately, this worked well for me. I had been using another brand of 5-HTP but struggled to find an equivalent after it was discontinued. A local health store recommended the NOW brand. I also take it with Tylenol or ibuprofen for early-stage migraines or headaches, and it often works better than these alone. It also improves mood and cuts down carb cravings by increasing serotonin levels. It’s most effective when not used daily to avoid tolerance.

Regular sleep schedule
Most Useful Review
5-HTP was suggested by a naturopath to aid sleep without relying on prescriptions. It helps induce sleep by converting Tryptophan to Serotonin. I have a challenging relationship with carbs and coffee, which disrupt my sleep. I take 5-HTP twice daily and notice it starts working when I yawn at 8 PM. I highly recommend it for insomnia, especially when combined with melatonin.

Improves mood
Most Useful Review
Happily, it worked well. After using another brand of 5 HTP for years, which was discontinued, I tried NOW brand upon recommendation. It’s effective when combined with Tylenol or ibuprofen at the early stages of a migraine. It also lifts my mood and reduces irritability. However, it's best not to use it every day to avoid tolerance.

Signs of heart failure
Most Useful Review
Following a switch to 5 HTP from St John's Wort, I felt moody at first but then experienced severe fatigue. After about a month, I exhibited symptoms of heart failure, such as shortness of breath and heart palpitations. Fortunately, after stopping the supplement, I’ve begun to feel better. Please be cautious with this medication, as its effects can be serious.

I received this supplement promptly. After just two days of taking one tablet, I faced a serious reaction of nausea. I contacted Now Foods for a refund but was informed they do not refund supplements unless the expiration date is bad. I typically receive refunds from other companies for similar issues. I am very displeased with Now Foods and will not purchase their products again.
