Pure Encapsulations 5-HTP 50 mg | 5-Hydroxytryptophan Supplement for Improved Mood & Sleep Quality

Sarah Faye Leggett: I ordered this because of recommendations from 2 different groups. One for trouble sleeping in menopause and 1 for coming off of seroquel for sleep. I read a lot of reviews and this one had the best reviews. I received this yesterday and took 1 about 2 hours before bed. For the 1st time in months I slept all night and didn't wake up. Truly gave me so much happiness, just getting sleep. This will be a permanent supplement that is now added to my others.

Andrew Oliver (main AZN account): Simply the best. Well worth the price. If you’re not familiar with; Pure Encapsulation - they are simply the best supplement company in the world. They will completely change your viewpoint on supplements and how much better a supplement from Pure Encapsulation is than 99% of supplements. Simply: it’s 100% supplement, no fillers, no preservatives etc etc etc. The two big result differences are; effectiveness and ease of digestion. I highly recommend.

Kelly C: I’ve been taking 50mg of 5 HTP with 500mg of Tyrosine and 10mg of DHEA for a week now and noticed an improvement with energy, mood, and motivation. When I tried the tyrosine by itself, it made me anxious and jittery. When I took the 5 HTP by itself, it helped to lift some depression and make life bearable, but didn’t really have the energy I needed to get out of bed. Combining both of those along with 10 mg of DHEA I was able to see a marked improvement. I’m in my 40’s and the dhea was recommended by my endocrinologist based off labs. Anyway, the energy I have now is balanced. Not a nervous or jittery energy. Not only am I cleaning and organizing the house, I have a little dance in my step as well. I’m more patient and just have an overall feeling of wellbeing. I seem to sleep better too. More sound. As long as I’m not watching tv before bed. I have not tried any other brand of HTP so don’t have anything to compare it too. I have hashimotos, adrenal insufficiency (Addisons) and low iron, so I’m usually tired all the time, which makes me depressed because there’s so much my heart wants to do but don’t have the strength to. This combination has me feeling like...

Michelle C: After being on anti-depressants and dealing with the side effects for about 28 years, I have completely given up prescription drugs. I just wanted to give 5 Htp a try to see if it helped.

I started out with 50 mgs and then upped it to 100 mgs, and I’ve noticed a significant difference in my mood and stress levels. What used to send me over the edge, is no longer bothering me to the point of losing it. I feel calmer, more in control of my feelings and able to take time, think about things and handle things calmly.

This has been a great help to me and my relationships, so I will keep on buying. Thank you.

Melissa Coe: I've reviewed other comments and reviews of other 5HTP products and only a few of the comments are helpful about the product itself. Most reviews are people telling of their own personal battles with fighting depression and anxiety or uncommon side effects (vivid dreams, upset stomach, etc.). I too had those side effects for the first few days I started taking 5HTP, but it was more my body getting used to the supplement rather than something being wrong with the product itself.

I've been using this brand for close to 2 years. Pure was was recommended by my doctor, it's the only brand my Dr. trusts as it is the most consistent in product quality which can be hard to find in vitamins and supplements. Even though this brand is more expensive than other 5HTP options out there, this one is consistent every single time. I'll continue to purchase Pure knowing that I will feel a consistent healthy calm every single day.
