Review: Effective and High-Quality 5-HTP – Best Price and Trusted Brand! - Nutricost 5-HTP 200mg is an excellent supplement for mood and sleep support. The 120 vegetarian capsules make it a fantastic value for the price—the best deal I found for this potency and quantity. I appreciate that it’s non-GMO, gluten-free, and clearly labeled, which gives extra peace of mind about what I’m taking. The capsules are easy to swallow and have had noticeable positive effects on my overall well-being. Nutricost is a brand I trust for quality supplements, and I’m very likely to buy this bottle again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality 5-HTP. 5 stars!
Review: The nausea means its working - Edit: TLDR: eat a few crackers or a couple candies before taking 5-HTP, and nothing else I have learned more about the biochemistry of 5-HTP, and exactly what you eat with it makes a huge difference. An empty stomach will cause nausea as most of the 5-HTP is absorbed quickly and converted into serotonin near the gut. A protein rich snack will block absorption of 5-HTP, as the other amino acids compete for absorption via the LAT1 transport. A carb rich snack will not compete for absorption in the gut, will reduce the nausea, and the increased insulin will suppress other amino acids in the blood, leading to preferential transport of 5-HTP across the blood brain barrier, leading to much more pronounced effects on mood and focus. I think the inconsistent effects I mentioned in the original review was from me switching to a higher protein breakfast, as opposed to the relatively sugary trail mix I had before. --- original review: The quality is inconsistent. I got a bottle that had zero effect (ordered October 2024), but the lack of effect made it INCREDIBLY clear how much it had been working before then. So, when it works, it gives me a buzzy energry that lasts throughout the day. It has completely changed my productivity at work, and literally carried me to employee of the month. The nausea is important to address. DO NOT take this on an empty stomach. You will feel absolutely terrible, and unable to do anything for a couple hours. That being said, it works best if you have very little in your stomach. If I eat just a handful of trail mix or something, it will come on strong, and last for hours without making me sick. Hopefully the next bottle is full strength again. I assume the heat in a warehouse or delivery truck deactivated it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What herb is your 5 htp derived from?**
A: The human body makes 5-HTP, which is the precursor of serotonin, from L-tryptophan, an amino acid. To facilitate the chemistry to produce more serotonin. I find one 100 mg capsule of 5-HTP at bedtime is sufficient. A second capsule of 500 mg L-tryptophan at bedtime assures there is readily available raw material for the production of more serotonin throughout the next day. Also, there is a tryptophan to NAD+ pathway that energizes cells while you sleep and is life extending (low NAD+ is directly and critically related to the aging process). In addition, L-tryptophan stimulates sleep (turkey has high levels of tryptophan in it and most people have been snoozed by Holiday turkey) and is also the raw material for a natural hallucinogen that brings on pleasant dreams. Bottom line, 100 mg 5-HTP, 500 mg L-tryptophan and 10 mg slow release melatonin results in very restful sleep, often with dreaming, and a pleasant "life is good" personality throughout the following day. All of this is available, without side effects or drowsiness in the morning, for a lot less than any sleeping pill with positive, life extending effects. Melatonin, in combination with undisturbed sleep, is also responsible for several routine repairs and maintenance in the body of things like esophageal and stomach irritation, CNS repairs, and DNA repairs. It doesn't matter that much if the melatonin is slow release. A capsule or pill works fine (I've used both). Melatonin stay with you through part of the waking day. If you are young, you may need only 5 mg or even none. If 60 or over, you will probably find 5 mg to 10 mg helpful. Some Seniors even go as high as 15 mg. Melatonin is a natural hormone produced by the pineal gland, but its production diminishes with age. The three way bedtime combination I have used for over three years. I'm 69 and I sleep like a baby which gives me higher energy all day long. Tryptophan can be expensive. The Nutricost source is the best I've found and they use a capsule with L-tryptophan powder in it. Another bedtime combination for the elderly is SAMe and sub-lingual Methylcobalamin (B12). Seniors have failing methylation systems as well as B12 absorption issues which brings on dementia. lethargy and fatigue: epidemic problems among the very old.

**Q: So what is the source of the 5-HTP in this supplement?**
A: The 5-HTP is a purified compound, so the source has no effect on the supplement itself.

**Q: 5- HTP  whats its use?**
A: its a precursor to the neurotransmitter serotonnin. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is the intermediate metabolite of the essential amino acid L-tryptophan (LT) in the biosynthesis of serotonin.
Serotonnin is not only present in your brain, but also in your gut, it helps your digestive system communicate with your brain via the Vagus nerve.  If your brain and stomach get out of synch you will suffer a host of ills and problems. This may help alleviate those problems. 
in fact, More serotonin is produced in the gut than anywhere else in the body, approximately 95 percent.

**Q: Does it contain griffonia simplicifolia?**
A: Per the back of the label, it contains 5-Hydroxytryptophan (100mg). Other ingredients are veggie capsule and rice flour. There's nothing indicating the source of the 5-Hydroxytryptophan on the label or on the website. Your best bet may be to email the manufacturer and find out what the source material is for the amino acid. No guarantee that marketing and/or customer relations will be privy to what the chemists do. Good luck!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work so well its incredible.
*by T***R on January 11, 2023*

I was skeptical at first if 5-HTP would really do anything for me, especially with the limited research and study data out there and how little information there is on long term side effects, however i decided on a whim to just buy it and give it a shot and i'm so happy I did. Ever since I started taking 5-htp, i've been much happier or its been easier to let myself be happy and less irritable, I often notice that as a result of this ive been keeping good posture while walking places as a result of my good mood, and that I feel like i've been walking with meaning. Personally I take 1 100 mg pill in the morning, with liquid, after eating as a common use of 5-HTP along side helping with sleep and lessening anxiety, is that of reducing appetite and since I am slender enough as is, i make sure to eat before taking the pill, plus generally it's better to take meds/supplements not on an empty stomach, then another 100 mg pill later in the afternoon if I feel like I need it to ride me through the rest of the day. Its not really possible to tell if its wonderful effect on me is due to it effectively converting to serotonin in my body and making me feel great or placebo or a combination of them both, but it doesn't really matter if at the end of the day its still providing the same positive effect on me. I do, however, want to say that if you want to start taking this because something happened in your life or you've been hit with a wave of "badness" or whatever, please keep in mind you're still directly playing with your bio-chemistry, neuro-chemistry, and neurotransmitters which obviously one small little mistake could make your body essentially kill itself. So while there is limited research, If you're on any other medication, esspecially those that also effect your neuro-chemistry (dopamine, oxytocin or some other serotonin related medicine such as stimulants or anti-depressants) or heart related medication, please be safe and find out as much information as you can and if needed consult your doctor and if you decide to take it, dont go in on a full dose, start with opening the capsules and throwing out most of the powder and taking only like 30mg or so to watch out for any side effects and that way if anything bad happens, it won't be nearly as severe as if you were to take a whole dose. Overall 10/10 experience personally, and this company seems to be pretty good, just be safe and do your research.
