Pure Encapsulations - 5-HTP 100 mg 180 vcaps [Personal Care]

I started this at my doctor's recommendation, to help my sleep and stabilize my mood during weight loss efforts. I wasn't sure it was doing much, so I stopped taking it when I ran out, only to immediately discover how much it HAD been doing for me, lol. I highly recommend this to other people now. ;)**Update**I'm halfway through my fifth pregnancy at the moment. I opted to stay on this supplement for the duration because I usually suffer from moderate pre and postpartum depression. It has been *so* helpful. I'd definitely recommend its use for when your ppd isn't severe enough for you to justify the use of prescription meds, but "by golly - you need to do SOMEthing". It's made just enough difference to keep me functional and reasonably close to "my usual self", without messing with anything too drastically.

It does NOT contain micro crystalline cellulose, or any other cellulose formulated to besafe only at certain levels, like HPMC -- Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose . THANK YOU, PURE

love the brand

Excellent quality. I use it for mood enhancement and it really works. If I stop taking it for a while I notice a difference within a week or so. I take one capsule every morning. I understand it is useful for sleep, too.

Over-the-counter serotonin booster helps some who have fibromyalgia. I think most supplements are hogwash so I only take something when my MD recommends it.
