Supports Recovery From Exhaustion & Helps The Body Rebuild Naturally!

What is 5-HTP? 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) is a metabolite of the amino acid tryptophan. You may know tryptophan as the agent in turkey that makes you feel like taking a nap after Thanksgiving dinner (in addition to a full belly). 5-HTP is a direct precursor of the important inhibitory neurotransmitter serotonin, which is secreted in response to mood or emotion swings. Serotonin soothes and calms and brings about feelings of contentment.

Is 5-HTP safe to take? The FDA has warned that it has found batches with impurities similar to the Japanese batches of tryptophan in 1980. 5-HTP and tryptophan are not the same. 5-HTP is related to tryptophan, but is derived from a different source. The 1980 scare concerning the Japanese tryptophan was attributed to a large batch the Japanese produced that was contaminated during the fermentation and/or filtration process. The contaminant caused affected persons to develop symptoms of EMS (eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome). 5-HTP, unlike tryptophan, is now extracted from the seed of the Griffonia simplicifolia plant and is not produced via bacterial fermentation, virtually eliminating further occurrence of EMS. Although there have been a couple of cases of EMS-like symptoms arising after 5-HTP supplementation, no direct correlations have established, and EMS can occur on its own.

      Comments about Now 5-HTP, 90 Capsules:

      5HTP is a great supplement. A bodybuilder friend of mine suggested it to me and I can't thank him enough. I've always suffered from feeling somewhat down every now and then, most times for no reason at all. I guess most people could say that, but I could see this feeling of sadness or depression consistently effecting my life in a negative way. Keeping me tied down to a life I didn't want. After 2 days of taking 5HTP I noticed an absolutely noticeable and obvious change in my overall attitude. I just felt as if I somehow had more energy inside to be the happy person that I know I am. It helps me to keep my mind on the things I intend to do. Rather than what's wrong with me and the rest of the world. I also sleep like a baby when I take it and I can feel how it helps with appetite control. I fully recommend 5HTP. It's freakin awesome ;)

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
