Reduced anxiety and appetite
12 people found this helpful
I have been taking 5-HTP for a little over a month, and it pleasantly surprised me. My sleep normalised, and anxiety nearly vanished! My mood improved, and I am no longer easily irritated. The drug isn’t addictive and is well absorbed, crucial for me. It can also decrease appetite and aid in weight loss. 5-HTP alleviated panic attacks and anxiety, making it a fantastic choice for improvement in mood and behaviour.

Enhanced mood and sleep
2 people found this helpful
When serotonin receptors are depleted due to life events, one feels awful and apathetic. I was advised to try 5-HTP along with l-theanine. It significantly helps with sleep, mood, and vitality. However, how your body reacts matters. My partner and I took it at different times: I took it morning and he before bed. On an empty stomach, it had some adverse effects initially, but taking it before bed improved vivid dreams and uplifting mornings—plus it surprisingly increased libido.

Effective for stress relief
1 people found this helpful
NOW Foods' 5-HTP products are reliable, high quality, and genuinely effective. I personally take two capsules at bedtime, and I find their help in managing stress to be quite apparent. 5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, which aids in balancing chemicals in the brain, effectively alleviating anxiety and stress. This product helps keep me calm and responsive during stressful situations. Moreover, it has positively influenced my sleep quality. Two capsules before bed allow me to fall asleep faster and enhance the overall depth of my slumber. I wake up feeling energised and refreshed, making it easier to start the day. I am very satisfied with the results and quality of NOW Foods 5-HTP, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking stress relief and improved sleep.

NOW Foods 5-HTP has been an exceptional addition to my supplements. Its effect on mood and the brain is remarkable. Being a serotonin precursor, it promotes well-being and happiness. Since starting this supplement, I've noticed a positive shift in my overall mood, and it even enhances my dreams, making them more vivid. It pairs well with GABA, amplifying their calming effect and helping me achieve a more relaxed mindset.

Energy and clarity restored
1 people found this helpful
A couple of years ago, after experiencing significant stress and two general anaesthetics, my mental state declined into anxiety, poor sleep, and depression. After taking antidepressants for six months, I began to relapse. I decided to tackle it myself. Ten days into adding 5-HTP, I noticed amazing results. I sleep well and wake up refreshed with elevated mood and energy. My focus has improved significantly, far surpassing that of antidepressants alone!

Cognitive function enhanced

Having suffered from depression that affected my brain's functioning and sleep, I was introduced to 5-HTP by my son. Initially sceptical, after 3-4 weeks, I noticed a positive trend: my brain feels more stable, and sleep quality has improved significantly, with fewer awakenings at 4 am. This supplement has been wonderful; I highly recommend it!

Menopause relief noted

Designed to boost serotonin in the brain and regulate mood, I've been taking it for a month. My sleep quality and mood have significantly improved. I take it an hour before bed, and I highly recommend it, especially for women enduring menopausal symptoms.

Negative impact on sleep
13 people found this helpful
The effect is the opposite. I bought it on the doctor's recommendation to improve sleep, but I won’t take it again! Previously, my sleep was ideally deep, but even the first pill ruined it. Usually, I don't have trouble falling asleep, yet after taking the drug, I couldn’t sleep at all. My sleep was shallow, and at 2 am, I woke up with an active brain while my eyes felt heavy. I also experienced an unpleasant sensation in my heart, which made me feel anxious, but that has long passed. To be honest, it frightened me. I refuse to continue this experimentation; it’s horrific.

Helps manage PTSD

This product is outstanding, especially for extreme PTSD. It worked wonders when used with GABA in the morning and 5-HTP at bedtime with melatonin. GABA promotes calmness, while 5-HTP stabilises moods.

Improved sleep and mood
126 people found this helpful
After several weeks on 100mg of 5-HTP, I’ve been pleasantly surprised. My sleep has greatly improved; I feel relaxed and ready for bed within an hour, but it’s not the same as prescription sleep aids. I’ve noticed a decreased craving for unhealthy foods. My mood hasn’t changed much, but depression related to brain chemistry can stem from a deficiency in neurotransmitters. Caution is advised if on prescription anti-depressants, as combining them with 5-HTP may cause dangerous serotonin levels.
