Review on 💤 Dr. Emil Nutrition 200mg 5-HTP Plus: Mood, Stress, and Sleep Support Formula - 60 Vegan Capsules by Ruth Coleman

I was recently diagnosed with PTSD and felt like I was on an unpredictable emotional roller coaster. After doing a little research and reading reviews, I gave this product a try. I noticed a HUGE difference in how I felt when facing everyday stressors and felt like the same person again! I felt like the little things that previously got me emotionally pumped weren't happening, but I never got my free bottle for leaving a review; and more importantly, since I really liked this product and am also a nutritionist, I wanted to research the long-term effects of taking 5-HTP. I suggest PLEASE do your research and consult a doctor because it is my understanding that the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine need to be in balance for optimal mood and brain function. So if you take a supplement that only increases serotonin (or dopamine), you end up depleting another neurotransmitter, leading to you missing out on the mood-boosting benefits and potentially causing dangerous problems down the road. There are many scientifically based articles on the subject, as well as suggestions on how to combine serotonin AND dopamine-boosting supplements to prevent these problems. For now, I've decided to settle for my second bottle of this and do more research for a supplement that aims to boost both serotonin and dopamine. Hope that helps!
