Source Naturals 5-HTP 100 Mg Capsules for Natural Stress Relief & Improved Sleep Quality

Rebecca Blake Smith: This product RULEZ
I am someone who used to be on SSRI’s and knowing about this NATURAL mood enhancement changed my life. I take after dinner and before bed and I wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed. Combine this with a light or vigorous exercise routine and it enhances the results ;) It takes about a week to two weeks to fully get the feeling.
If you’re a heavy pot smoker or drinker this won’t work.

Bh: My wife and I tried 2 other brands of 5-HTP and feel that this one is the best. The other brands we used didn't seem to be as potent and the ingredient list was questionable. It might be a little more expensive but we feel it is worth it.

It seems like everyone has different results from this drug but my experience is as follows.
I take 1x100mg in the morning and 1x100mg at dinner. (that's the 3rd meal for those who refer to lunch as dinner).
Effects: I sleep deeper through the night and have lots of dreams.

I used to wake up frequently during the night and couldn't get back to sleep. 5-HTP fixed that.
I used to have a hard time falling asleep. 5-HTP fixed that.

Ambien works but that made me do silly things and it didn't feel natural.
Melatonin sort of worked but gave me nightmares.
I've tried the over the counter concoctions with hundreds of natural sleep aids and those were hit and miss.
I don't have depression so I don't know if it's helped my mood or anything, just sleeping.

I've been on it for 6 months now but I took a hiatus on the 5th month to see if it was really doing any good. Within 2 days I was back to...

Lu and Lulu: I bought this for the sleep improving effects, but man did it improve my mood. I did not expect that at all. I have an issue with sleep, and sometimes I get wakeful. Stress, activity, whatever builds up and I go through these insomnia jags. Sleep is really important for me. Without it I get cranky, eat too much, don't accomplish as much and feel rotten. So, after a bit of research I thought I'd try 5-HTP. I know Source Naturals makes a great product. I've tried many other supplements and this is my favorite brand. Great value, great quality and it works.

The 5-HTP is fantastic. I take it at night along with a very small dose of melatonin from the same company. The 1, 2 punch is a killer to my insomnia. Sweet sleep, and the side benefit of a cheerful mood. Not bad for such a little capsule.

B. Short: I purchasesd this product about 3 weeks ago and take it 2X a day.(Upon waking and about one hour before bed.) I love that it does not make me feel "groggy", but I fall asleep faster and sleep better once I go to bed. I also do not wake up in a fog. Other sleep aides leave me feeling unrested the next day. I feel rested and energized. My teenage son has noticed that I am calmer and less stressed. This alone speaks volumes. I feel good and less anxious. It gives me the same feeling that Effexor did but without the terrible side effects. So far I have not experienced any side effects and just set up Auto Ship so that I am never without it. Dr. Oz featured 5-HTP on his show a few weeks ago as a tool to help curb carb cravings. I have not experienced a decreased craving, but I know it can take several weeks before you get the full benefits. It is definitely worth a try to help with sleep and anxiety!

Ed Barton: This comes in a convenient dosage, and seems to have good potency. After reading up on 5-HTP, I now suppliment with one evening and one morning dose, and have found that I am sleeping much better, as well as seem to have fewer mood swings and fluxuations in appetite. The one capsule seems to do the trick at each interval.
