5HTP 400mg Griffonia Seed Extract - 240 Vegan Capsules with Added L-Tryptophan, Lemon Balm and Chamomile - 8 Months Supply of High Strength 5-HTP Complex - Made in The UK by YrHealth

I feel overall in a better mood since taking this and I feel more alert.I guess people react differently. I say this because, when it comes to sleep, I'm experiencing very different results to others. If I take this closer to bed time, I find my brain is fully alert due to the positive effects it has on my mood and alertness, which then results in difficulty sleeping. Saying that, as long as I take this at least 5-6 hours before bedtime, I sleep OK. It doesn't necessarily improve my sleep, maybe it does a little if taken earlier in the day, however, my mood is much better and, so is my mental energy. Overall I'm very happy with these results, even though I purchased this to improve my sleep.

I've tried three brands of 5-HTP so far off Amazon. I can't definitely say this is the best but I like it so far. The other brands I've tried were Nu-U and Puretality, I liked the latter best; much likes this one, capsules are good - much better than pressed tablets which inevitably and eventually crumble to dust in the post.As some reviewers have commented the ratio is 8:1 which indeed means you're only getting 50mg of 5-HTP, but if you look arund the marketplace here you'll see that pretty much every bargain 5-HTP seller is doing a dirty on dosage and trying to mislead you in a similar way. However, even with brands where you get a higher dosage, you still normally gets less capsules as a result. This one you get 240, which is a lot. You can simply take more to compensate if you need.I lvoe the fact that this one has added Tryptphan. Is it a perceptible ingredient? I'm not so sure, but I was interested in trying it anyway as some people prefer that as a more 'natural' subsitute for 5-HTP but I didn't fancy having to buy a whole new jar and still get the benefits of 5-HTP.Like all 5-HTP brands, this gives me crazy vivid dreams. I've found that switching to any ther brand causes this effect in the first instance, but it wanes the more regularly you take the 5-HTP. I also take 5-HTP daily for it's mood-boosting efefcts and here the difference can be subtle, but definitely saves from my non-clinical tendency towards depression.RECOMMEND

I used this for anxiety issues, it seems to help me cope better.

I have a feeling if I stopped using it I could not go to sleep. I will stop using it and I wont use this to sleep although if I take it around 5-6pm and not later I pass out around 8-9pm. So it works it just makes me worried that my body has no problem producing melatonin so I dont actually need this.Edit after a month of use; I stopped using it because I could not get a good night sleep. I started sleeping 5-6 hours instead of the usual 7.5-8 hrs that I was used to. So when I stopped using it first night I could not sleep at all. I think I slept 1-2 hrs. So many weird side effects. Like I never feel tired. I had to take it to go to sleep. Then I get up after 5 hours of sleep without feeling tired at all. Few hours into my day and my eyes start to burn and I feel the fatigue and tiredness. But still not sleepiness.So anyway when I stopped using it 3 days ago I've had my first good nights sleep yesterday since I started using it. I felt sleepy again. Felt great. Felt so different to what I could achieve with this. I thought it would help in some way but I also forgot why I started taking it. I bacame a complete zombie using it. So glad I dont actually need this to get a good nights sleep. Oh just remembered I used this because of noises. I sold my house moved address and new place is quiet. So I started noticing how even though its quiet I still get up around 5-5:20am every day, even on the weekends. Yesterday was the first night since forever that my alarm woke me up at 6:50 as it should. This is some weird sh*t. Dont use it if you dont absolutely need to.

Helps to naturally boost serotonin and mood and I feel a difference when I don’t take them. Completely natural

It's best to take a sleeping tablet 1.5-2hrs before bed to give adequate time for the minerals to go into your bloodstream. On the day I got it, I took 1 tablet in the evening to see if it works. I gradually dozed off after 1.5hrs and fell asleep for 1min, but I woke up because of a loud noise. I fell asleep again after 45mins. Keep in mind, I was lying in the bed and using my phone that's why I didn't fall asleep quicker. But it did make me sleepy and relaxed. Make sure you have no distractions to fall asleep faster. I set the alarm after 3hrs and woke up because I didn't want to mess up my sleepy schedule. Then around 10:24PM which was like 5 hours since I last slept, I took another tablet and I took a shower. By 11:30PM I already feel relaxed and sleepy. I used my phone for 15mins, but I started to doze off after 20mins. According to the instructions on the back it's recommended to take 1 tablet a day. This has other minerals beside 5HTP that helps produce serotonin. So I guess it's better and a bit stronger than other pills that only have 5HTP.

Calms you down for bed. Has side effects though.

Not sure if just didn't work with me, i slept better but i felt very strange throughout the day.I suppose would be awesome to use for a hangover to get a fix. But wouldn't recommend for every day use especially if you suffer from anxiaty
