Stabilises emotions
8 people found this helpful
An excellent product! I purchased 5-HTP for both myself and family. My sister's sleep improved, and her emotional state stabilised. I also tolerate it well; it soothes nerves effectively. Interestingly, my mother's low blood pressure rose after taking it, though we had to halve her dose. I aim for her to continue using the 50mg formulation.

Caused headaches

Unfortunately, I experienced severe headaches and gastrointestinal discomfort lasting around 24 hours with every pill. Additionally, my mood would drop after a day or so. After some research, I discovered it may contribute to blood clotting, which was concerning.

Improved circulation
3 people found this helpful
I have poor blood circulation and purchased Garlic & Ginger, Ginger Root, Lecithin, 7-KETO, 5-HTP, and Potassium Citrate capsules, along with Calcium tablets. I believed that Garlic, Ginger Root, and Lecithin improved my circulation. Lecithin, 7-KETO, 5-HTP, and Potassium Citrate, alongside Calcium, may enhance autonomic nerve function. I feel better since taking them. However, the Lecithin tablets are quite large; be cautious while taking them. I experienced damage to my esophagus after a few days.

Enhances serotonin levels
1 people found this helpful
5-HTP is beneficial for addressing nervous stress, physical exertion, and gastrointestinal issues that lead to tryptophan deficiency. It alleviates symptoms like low energy, poor mood, and anxiety. It can effectively increase serotonin in the central nervous system and is useful for conditions such as depression, sleep disorders, and headaches. It’s crucial to take it in the morning for overeating and before bed for sleep normalisation. Always consult about interactions to avoid excessive serotonin levels and side effects.

Unfortunately, on the second day, my mother's blood pressure increased after taking these capsules at night. She is 56 years old. I want to caution people approaching retirement age about this. Cheers, and thank you for the thumbs up!

Headache occurrence
I took the supplement for a week and noticed an increase in headaches and a rise in my blood pressure, despite not having issues with them before. After stopping the drug, everything returned to normal. I believe these symptoms were linked to taking 5-HTP, possibly due to personal intolerance.

No noticeable effect
4 people found this helpful
I was not satisfied with the results. I didn't notice any significant effect, leading me to conclude that 5-HTP might be harmful as it increases serotonin synthesis but not its concentration within the brain. I also read that high levels of serotonin in the bloodstream correlate to increased platelet counts, which is troubling.

Stress relief
A good remedy for stress and poor sleep. When used cautiously alongside melatonin, it can significantly reduce blood pressure.
