Customer Reviews of Jarrow Formulas 5-HTP 50mg, 90 Capsules

Customer Review: Jarrow, always the best option for 5-HTP
Summary: 5 Stars

Like most people I started out with the best (Jarrow) when experimenting with 5-HTP but for some reason got curious and began to experiment with cheaper (and lesser quality brands).

I am relatively a newbie to the supplement industry (only about 2 years in) so I figured I should try other products to get my feet wet so to speak.

After experimenting with Natrol (which is good for some herbs but not 5-HTP particularly) and other brands it turns out that Jarrow is indeed the best.

Taking it right before bed is optimal. You feel somewhat groggy in the morning but this is the type that is a peaceful groggy resulting from a good quality sleep. Since 5-HTP is a precursor to Seratonin and Melatonin your body will take the 5-HTP and process either/or depending on the time of day it is taken, environmental stimuli and your personal needs. This is a great option for me because my body generally doesn't like melatonin supplements.

Anyone with sleep problems or depression should check it out. Watch out if you have anxiety or panic attacks though as this could mean that you have too much seratonin? The first time I took this (about 2 years ago) it actually made me feel very relaxed in public settings. However, when I take it now for some reason I become somewhat "edgy" if I'm around too many people. I guess that's just my body changing it's chemistry over the years.

Some may recommend 5-HTP for stress but I would say that the action of 5-HTP does not really affect stress hormones directly enough to prove useful in that department. However, I have found if you are exhausted or burned out and are taking the herb for the first time, it can truly be a miracle worker. Experiment at home first in a comfortable setting before you use it outdoors.

Either way, overall great supplement if you have experience, eat it with the right things (or nothing at all for a more pronounced effect) and don't take too much as you can get Seratonin sickness which is not a pleasant experience as I've heard. I would recommend 2 of these per day max (or one of the 100mg).
