NOW Foods Supplements, 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) 100 mg, Neurotransmitter Support*, 60 Veg Capsules

I’ve been taking NOW Foods 5-HTP (100 mg) daily for about 60 days, and the results have been excellent. My mood feels more balanced, I’m calmer throughout the day, and my sleep quality has noticeably improved — I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling more refreshed. For the best results, I’ve been pairing it with BESTVITE Magnesium Glycinate, and the two work perfectly together. The magnesium helps my muscles relax and supports deeper, more restorative sleep, while the 5-HTP promotes a positive mood and relaxation. Both supplements are clean, vegan-friendly, and gentle on the stomach. After 60 days, I can honestly say this combo has made a remarkable difference in my stress, mood, and overall well-being.

I am so impressed with this 5-HTP supplement from NOW. I started taking the 100 mg capsules to help with general well-being, and the difference is noticeable. I feel much calmer, more centered, and generally have a more positive outlook. It’s perfect for natural neurotransmitter support. Highly recommend this brand for quality and effectiveness!

Excellent product, high quality.

I’ve been taking NOW Foods 5‑HTP 100 mg (120 veg capsules) nightly for the past month, and it’s been a game-changer for winding down. Just one капсуль before bed helps me feel more relaxed and fall asleep more quickly—without the groggy morning feeling that some sleep aids cause. It’s clean and simple: just 5‑HTP with supportive vitamin B6 in a veggie capsule, and it seems to gently boost my mood and ease tension by evening. It functions extremely well, boosts energy levels, is small, and doesn’t smell. What I really appreciate is how consistent it is without unwanted side effects. My stress levels feel noticeably calmer, and I’ve experienced fewer “animal brain” racing thoughts at night. The 120-count bottle lasts about four months at my tempo, which makes it a great value. If you’re seeking natural support for sleep, mood, or stress that’s gentle yet effective, this 5‑HTP formula is worth trying.

Was recommended to try this product it did help me sleep better at night but overall didn't feel any other health changes or benefits

UPDATE: For the past 2 wks, I've been grieving the loss of my pet and also my son has left for 6 month, and I can't talk or see him. It has caused me to become very depressed and I couldn't stop crying. I wasn't eating or getting out of bed. I began taking these a few days ago and my mood has improved drastically. The first day I took 2 pills and by the following day, I felt much better. I now take 1 per day and I haven't cried once in the past few days since taking them. I pray they will continue to work. This time, my sleep hasn't been affected by the pills. I am able to sleep a good 8 hours without drowsiness. OLD REVIEW: If you do not have low serotonin levels or, issues with depression, anxiety, or insomnia/problems sleeping or staying asleep then DO NOT TAKE. I tried this because I thought it would help me focus but instead it just allowed me to fall into a deeper than normal sleep and I slept for nearly 24 hours and still woke up feeling like I could stay asleep forever. It did not make me groggy...I just felt like I welcomed sleep. I do not suffer from any symptoms that these supplements are intended for and what I've read, long-term use can negatively effect your body if you do not have low serotonin. These also caused me to have a little anxiety and moodiness. WebMD: It has been used safely in doses up to 400 mg daily for up to one year. But some people who have taken 5-HTP have developed a condition called eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome (EMS). EMS is a serious condition involving extreme muscle tenderness (myalgia) and blood abnormalities (eosinophilia). Other potential side effects of 5-HTP include heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, sexual problems, and muscle problems.

This is a good quality food supplement I was looking for. This is part of my regiment for getting the proper vitamins and minerals. I need and try to enhance to repair some of the damage. My body is taken from the lack there of them so it’s hard to say this is working perfectly, but it definitely is in my daily nutritional health plan. The quality of the pills and packaging are exactly what I wanted. It’s hard to say not being a chemical company if these are working superior or not, but they seem to be.

NOT FOR EVERYONE! It has the opposite effect for me. I feel super anxious and uneasy. I feel nauseous. When I took it before bed i had a hard time sleeping and I tried it in the morning once and felt even worse. Just want to put this out there. I know this product works for some. Maybe try 50mg first.
