Description of Optimize Sleep & Mood Health with Doctor's Best 5-HTP – Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, 100mg

DOCTOR’S BEST 5-HTP (5-HYDROXY L-TRYPTOPHAN) - contains 5-HTP, a naturally occurring metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. 5-HTP is extracted from the seeds of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant. 5-HTP is converted in the brain to serotonin, a neurotransmitter substance found at the junctions (synapses) between neurons.* 5-HTP provides a drug-free support for sleep, mood and stress.*. BENEFITS - 5-HTP aids serotonin production; Serotonin is the chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, sexual desire, mood and appetite.* Synthesis of serotonin in the brain requires an adequate supply of either tryptophan or 5-HTP as precursors in the central nervous system.*. MOOD & SLEEP SUPPORT - 5-HTP serotonin produces in the body a calming and relaxing effect providing support to help maintain mental, emotional well-being, and to help promote healthy sleep.*. PROMOTES RELAXATION – 5-HTP is a drug-free way to promote a calm and relaxed mood by enabling the body’s synthesis of serotonin, the chemical messenger that greatly helps in enhancing mood. CONTROL APPETITE – use of 5-HTP helps promote feeling of fullness and the suppression of hunger and supports healthy eating patterns and stress-induced eating.*. PROMOTES BETTER SLEEP – 5-HTP is naturally occurring plant-derived amino acid that aids the body’s production of serotonin. Serotonin relaxes your mind and body and allows you to get a better night’s sleep. During the summer months products may arrive warm but Amazon stores and ships products in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations, when provided.

Tiny capsules, big improvement!

Doctor's Best have switched to much smaller capsules than any other brand, which means less filling material and easier to swallow. I will switch all of my supplements to Doctor's Best whenever possible. It's nice to see a supplement company making improvements for the consumer - now that I understand how much filler goes into all those big capsules to make everything fit, it's frustrating that other companies are lazy and keep making them out . Walk with Doctor Best.

Pros
  • BENEFITS - 5-HTP promotes serotonin production; Serotonin is a chemical neurotransmitter produced in the brain that helps regulate sleep, body temperature, sex drive, mood and appetite.* Synthesis of serotonin in the brain requires sufficient tryptophan or 5-HTP as a precursor in the central nervous system. *
Cons
  • Available in white only

Good product but not for everyone.

doctors best good nutritional supplements available so although I will not use this product again not because of the quality but the good quality is the cause of the problem. This is a problem for some of us as 5htp noted, however with daily use the enzyme is not regulated to eliminate excess serotonin which also lowers dopamine so after about 4 days I became very depressed and unmotivated. My advice is to be careful when using 5htp and watch out for bad moods. It might be okay to use once or…

Pros
  • PROMOTES SLEEP - 5-HTP is a naturally occurring, plant-derived amino acid that promotes the body's production of serotonin. Serotonin relaxes your body and mind, allowing you to sleep better at night.

Solid product but I usually need a double dose

I love it but to be honest I have to take two capsules (200mg) most of the time to get any significant effect. 100 mg alone doesn't seem to help me and I also take other substances like methylated B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, potassium and vitamin C to increase my serotonin levels. fully methylated B6 or a B formula such as Solgar P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate, the active form of vitamin B₆) or Thorne's basic B-complex AND with vitamin C. This helps 5-HTP be absorbed properly. Doctor's Best also…

Pros
  • During the summer months products can arrive warm but Amazon stocks and ships products according to manufacturers recommendations where provided.
Cons
  • I will add later
