Nature's Way5-HTP, L-5-Hydroxytryptophan, Helps Make Serotonin to Promote a Positive Outlook*, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Griffonia Bean Extract, 30 Tablets (Packaging May Vary)

I've been using this stuff for more than 20 years. It's a natural anti-depressant because it's a precursor to serotonin (helps your body make more), and therefore lets your body self-adjust rather being forced to alter the amount in your brain.It CAN have a serious side effect (seratonin syndrome) which my sister actually experienced. Basically, DO NOT take the maximum dose every day for years or you will overdose, and get palpitations/jitters. Use it occasionally (a couple times a week or less) with the minimal effective dose (one or two) and you ought to be fine. I keepa bottle around for bad days.The price has tripled since I started taking it for a lot less product, but that's how it goes. Get it cheap if you can. If you can't, try it before other methods as it's gentle on your body. Consult with doctor before taking.

Product works well and is inexpensive. Small drawbacks include the bottles are way bigger than the amount of pills they put in them. I'm sure they do this for marketing but I'd prefer to be gentler on the environment. I bought a bunch of them on sell and combined 3 to 4 bottles into one.Other than that it's a go to product for me if I'm needing some help with sleep and or mood. Melatonin works better for sleep. This is better for mood but still mildly helpful for sleep if you don't need to be knocked out.

I took the recommended dosage of 3 and got very short tempered shortly after. I read reviews on other sides and saw this was common, so I went down to 1 and did NOT get short tempered - I felt my anxiety go down and my mood better. I then went to 2 after a few weeks and will be sticking at 2, I do think these work BUT there are only 30 in a pack, and if you are taking recommendation - then you are done less than halfway through the month. I have tried other anxiety/mood prescribed medication and didn't like side effects. I wish these were not so much money so I could keep taking them because with 1 or 2 a day I did not get side effects.Worth the try for you - especially if you have the money.

These are very good for sleep, light on the body (easier than melatonin), and this formulation includes the B vitamin that it needs to absorb.

Been getting this brand for my mom for years as it was the only one that worked for her strongest menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. Well they randomly changed the formula and it no longer works. I’m crushed. This was an important part of her health care and for it just be changed out of nowhere is scary. Thankfully she found a new brand after a few purchases.

One of the top critical reviews of this supplement asserts that the vitamin B-6 included with 5-HTP in this supplement causes the 5-HTP to be converted to serotonin in the body rather than the brain is false. Studies have shown that B-6 actually increases serotonin production in the brain, and furthermore does so by up to 60%. You can find that study here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8748674

My bf sleeps very well with this, and it seems to have improved his mood as well. No, I'm not drugging him lol but bought these for him to help with depression/anxiety

I really loved how I felt the first couple days that I was taking the 2 pill dose. I felt very cheerful and good. Then after those couple days, I was having meltdowns and crying and feeling really bad. I stopped taking it and my mood went back to normal. I decided to try it one more time by taking 1 pill, and I was feeling bad again so I guess I won’t take these anymore. I also have had intense headaches every day since I stopped taking the 2 pills.
