Overcomes hypertension
1 people found this helpful
My mum has seen remarkable results. She used 5-hydroxytryptophan for her depression, and within one capsule, she felt better—sleep improved and her stress resistance increased. Previously, her hypertension fluctuated frequently, even with daily medication. Now, the pressure spikes much less often, and she only requires light daily pills for hypertension. Thanks to "Mr. Tryptophan"!

Alert: Please be careful if you have any heart disease; it can be disastrous. I took it before bed and experienced severe arrhythmia and dyspnoea, leading to vomiting and a trip to A&E. With my existing SVT (a heart condition causing tachycardia), I urge anyone with heart disease or hypertension to steer clear of this, as it can be harmful.

Improved sleep quality
This is the best method for sleep. Even my cardiologist recommended it as I had adverse effects from melatonin. 5-HTP works wonders for me; I sleep well and wake up refreshed. My hypertension seems stable, and my mood has improved. The benefits in sports may be from getting enough restful sleep.

Contraindications noted
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is crucial for serotonin production, derived from proteins. However, it has contraindications, especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It could worsen various conditions, including hypertension. 5-HTP is more effective than a placebo for depression but should be used cautiously for up to two months to avoid complications.

Dangerous with conditions
Excellent! 5-HTP is a serotonin precursor that enhances mood, sleep, and reduces anxiety. Nonetheless, it has risks with cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, as it may elevate blood pressure. It's crucial not to self-prescribe without knowing potential exacerbations of conditions like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
