NatureWise 5-HTP 100mg Natural Mood & Sleep Support Promotes Normal Weight, Enhanced with Vitamin B6, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, Easy to Digest (Packaging May Vary) (2 Month - 120 Count)

Honestly it's kind of hard whether to tell whether this is helping me out or not. I do think I've been sleeping a bit better lately! (But that could be attributable to other factors) I think that boosted my mood a bit. I would also note though that I recently started talking Wellbutrin and that had MUCH more of an impact on my mood!! (Also I don't use either the 5-HTP or Wellbutrin for weight loss, but I think the Wellbutrin would be more effective for that because it has made it so I have to remember to eat because I don't get very hungry at all. Of course, Wellbutrin needs to be prescribed, but it's very mild. I would say this is a good option if you're afraid of prescription drugs, or can't access a doctor (but actually with my student insurance, Wellbutrin is only $7.51/month. I will continue to take these until I run out, and may continue after! I want to see what effect it has when I stop, to see if I can tell a difference, and then I'll update my review! I'd give them a shot if you want to improve you mood a bit, and I think it MAY have had some influence on my appetite if that's what you're looking for (but that's not me).

But this 5-HTP does seem to have improved my mood. My pain management doctor recommended this for me to take before bedtime to help relax my neck muscles which are always in extreme pain, especially when trying to sleep at night. The first few nights, it seemed to help the most, but has not been as effective as those first several days. I am on day 20 and my neck pain is so bad, it is difficult to separate bad from better days to know if any one thing is benefiting me - highly variable pain. I had 5 of my 8 neck vertebras bolted together in December 2014. The surgery made my pain worse instead of better.I have ordered the 200 mg time release version that should arrive any day now, so I do believe it helps. I'm just an extreme case of often unbearable pain. Today is one of those days. Maybe when it warms up and the sun shines again, I'll feel better. I can't get more than 3 or 4 hours of sleep before being awakened with severe neck pain and often a headache to match. All this - thanks to some idiot driving the wrong way at high speed and hitting me broadside in 2004. He drove off never to be seen again. I had to quit my job making mid-six figures salary. I've been unemployed for 14 years now. My life ended as I knew it in an instant.

To be honest, I didn’t feel much difference after I started taking NatureWise 5-HTP. My sleep quality was almost the same and my mood became just slightly better. The pills themselves were easy to swallow and didn’t cause any digestive issues. I would say give it a shot, they might help you!

I have consumed 5htp fro NOW brand. I usually trust them but I find NaturalWise 5htp much much better. The first most important aspect I have notions that it doesn't upset my stomach even when I take it on an empty stomach. Second it does help take the edge of my feelings of stressed out and third I fast regularly and like most fasters will know, fasting cleans all the senses. Including the sense of taste so when a fast is broken the first bite of any food is taken it will taste like the best ever in the whole wide world...,and so I find myself eat like it's the last meal ever!!!! Which makes it hard to not overeat. So this 5 htp taken before or even during my first meal after fasting really really helps takes the edge of my taste sense so as food doesn't taste really good and I feel full much more faster. But when I am not fasting my hunger is pretty normal taking thi 5htp. I definitely do recommend it but also really recommend reading up and researching on the supplement. There are aspects of 5htp that need to be known for instance if taken at night your body converts it into melatonin and induces to sleep ( because lack of sun light) and if you don't need it cause you produce enough of it naturally you might feel pretty sad and like crying crazy for no reason. I hope this helps.

This product has changed my quality of life. I struggled with depression since my preteens. I discovered 5htp 2 years ago and it is exactly what I was missing. I handle stress and heavy events much better than I ever could. I am in good spirits and life outlook is much better consistently. I enjoy life, big and small things, without draining all the serotonin for the next day. I also noticed I am less irritable and and more patient. The sun finally shines!This must be what "normal" feels like. Every time I forget to take it, I feel like my old self.I also have very vivid and more logical dreams. I have intellectual, cohesive conversations.I took this in the day and got drowsy. Try it at night instead. 100mg is my daily dosage.
