I would purchase this product again.
I have a situational depression due to a loss in my life. After taking this product I felt like myself again happy, optimistic, my hope came back, and most important I feel healthy again. I'm combining exercise a healthy diet with the pills the only bad part is not so easy on the stomach but I am planning to stop in a month.

This is exactly what I needed!
Let me give a backround for anyone who thinks they should try this. I'm 23 and have a great life, I for some reason couldn't ditch having a depressed, negative attitude that was ruining a lot of personal relationships. I consider myself very healthy and conscious, so I knew I was fighting my own mind on something. I started taking these tablets at the suggestion of my wonderful girlfriend and it has completely erased all the negativity from my mind. After taking 2 50mg tablets daily I have a…

Good for Fibromyalgia
Although anyone with fibromyalgia knows that what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another, 5-HTP is one of the supplements that has been shown to be most often effective as part of a fibromyalgia treatment plan. For me I have found that 5-HTP has allowed me to drop my Lyrica dose by 25 mg a day and I always use this brand and dose of it. I've found this this one to be consistent and effective, and when I find it to be economical as well, especially when I can get it on the…

5-HTP 50 mg
I began taking 5-HTP because it is said to stop cravings for sweets, etc. It definitely does that. I am a chocoholic and now, I don't even think about it. While I don't find that it improves my sleep (I have never had sleep issues), I do find that it helps my mood and total outlook. I am pre-menopausal and moody so anything that can help me be more normal is a plus! Product is good.. it does what it says it will do.

Useful sleep aid
I find the 5-HTP very useful as a sleep aid. I use both the 50 mg. size and the 100 mg. size, depending on how much difficulty I'm having with sleep. I also use Melatonin to help me fall asleep, but it's effects don't last all night. The 5-HTP helps me to stay asleep longer.
