5-HTP

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone ever tried it? I've heard some good things about it from some people I follow virtually, and I did a small amount of research on it, so I just wanted to know if anyone else is taking this and how it makes them feel.

I experienced no benefits from it - I took it as a sleeping aid, didn't help with that and noticed no difference to my appetite or moods.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply! Can you recall the brand you took, the dose, how often and for how long you took it?

Had same lack of effect as bloodheart, I bought Serotone 5HTP by higher nature, think it had 50mg of 5HTP in it equivalent to 500mg of L-Tryptophan

interestingly a sample produced by bacteria was associated with a problem called EMS and this produced really horrible effects however the sames available now adays are from griffonia simplifolia seed - some people I have heard in books/internet take it when going clubbing.

You want to buy it with the necessary cofactors [vitamins such as pyridoxal 5' phosphate etc]

Let me know how you get on, Ive done some limited research into it.

Holland & Barrett 50mg - two per night consistently for a month and a half.

Thanks for the replies. Maybe if 50mg's don't work, I could try 100's. There are 100MG pills too.

I have never heard of that before! What's EMS?

I have heard of people taking 5HTP for when they go clubbing. It makes them happier, and lessens the hangover/comedown. What actually caught my interest is that a lot of people I've seen online are taking 5HTP, and they all claim they are happier since taking it. I'm sure they're not advertising. hmm hmm

EMS stands for Eosinophilia-Myalgia Syndrome
