Description
5-HTP (5-Hydroxytryptophan) has been studied for its role as a metabolic precursor or building block for serotonin (an important neurotransmitter believed to help regulate mood, sleep, and pain sensation), and for its potential role as a weight loss aid and appetite suppressant, fibromyalgia, depression, and chronic headaches, among others. 5-HTP is important for the production of melatonin, which is a natural hormone your body secretes to help maintain your body’s sleep/wake cycle. 5-HTP may support weight loss by decreasing appetite.

I have battled with depression for several years, some of the symptoms of which were loss of drive & motivation, anger, irritability & a quick temper. I have been on Davina’s 5HTP for 5 months and it has worked wonders in combating my depression. It virtually stopped my anger, irritability and temper in 2-3 days, although other symptoms took a little longer to resolve. I am on other supplements, but I know this 5 HTP makes a dramatic difference with helping me feel more settled because my anger and irritability returns if I miss several days of the 5-HTP. They recommend you take it 3 times a day, but I’m not very med compliant so I have successfully combined my afternoon dose with my night time dose.

This definitely helps me get to sleep when taken at night. Helps focus and de-stress when taken during the day.

This knocks me out in about 30 minutes. Pretty deep sleep too. I play with the dose about anywhere from 150-200mg works well for me

I can see a marked difference in behaviors when my family or I take this. I highly recommend trying this. I leave our bottle sitting on the counter so my people remember to take it.
