Has side effects
Did some research on this product and found that it can be used for loosing your weight, for depression, for migraine and something else (don't remember now)Also it has side effects.The product obviously is working, but I would strongly advise to consult your doctor before taking them.Supplement offered for a good price, and is effective, but I'm giving 4* for not stating full information and it is very important."There is not enough scientific data to provide a recommended dose of 5-HTP. However, in scientific studies a dose of 150-800 mg daily is commonly taken for 2-6 weeks in the treatment of depression. Less commonly, higher doses are used.The appropriate dose for you may depend on factors including your age, gender, and medical history. Speak to your healthcare provider to get personalized advice."

As a GAD sufferer, I'm pleased I got the chance to try this
I received 5-HTP because I wanted to see if it would help with my stress and anxiety levels, especially as I suffer from Generalised Anxiety Disorder. I'd love to have more control over my anxiety levels, especially on bad days. They come in capsule form and are of standard size. They have a very subtle smell, almost sweet if anything. My aim was to take these as and when I need them at first and then adjust from there depending on whether that worked or not.The first time of taking it, I was struggling with anxiety after feeling overwhelmed. It only took about ten minutes to kick in and I felt a sense of calm come over me and the majority of my anxiety had left my head. It gave me a sense of clarity and I was gobsmacked that it worked so well. Twenty minutes in and I was feeling a little bit ungrounded and spacey, but still better and after waiting further, this cleared.I've only needed to take this a couple more times since and I do feel this has helped, although one time it did take longer to kick in and I would say it's not a magic cure, but an aid to help cope with the anxiety. My mum also took it when she felt stressed and sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. Having said that, she'd not a GAD sufferer and if the underlying emotional response isn't anxiety and is for example, frustration as it was with her on one of the occasions, it's unlikely to have the desired effect.Fortunately, over the past few weeks, I've not had too many bad anxiety moments and I want to continue to test this out further. My aim will be to continue to try it out and if need be, I'll come back and adjust the review. Naturally, I just didn't want to force bad anxiety onto myself, just to test out the product. I avoided using it for low to medium levels of anxiety because I try to put in my own mindfulness techniques and not rely on this too much, especially as I'm already on medication for anxiety.

These supplements appear to be helping my insomnia.
These supplements appear to be helping my insomnia.5-HTP Apparently can be absorbed in the body as serotonin which can help sleep disorders. Recently I’ve had trouble getting to sleep. I’ve been taking the supplements for about a month and have found it easier to get to sleep over the last few days.I’ve also noticed that I’ve been leaving food on my plate, which is unlike me however these supplements can also have an effect on binge eating so maybe they are helping me control my appetite.The capsules are easy to swallow with a glass of water and have no taste or aftertaste.I don’t suffer from anxiety but these supplements can apparently have a positive effect on anxiety too.I’m happy to recommend as I have definitely noticed an improvement in getting to sleep quicker and staying asleep through the night.Five stars from me.

Large capsules / help with sleep and anxiety
I got these as it’s suppose to help with sleep. someone who suffers with anxiety and not able to sleep at night I was really excited to try this product . The capsules are regular sized large capsules I don’t have any problems swallowing these but for someone who doesn’t like taking tablets could find these capsules a little large . I’ve been taking them for a week and I feel it’s really helping especially with sleep .Will keep taking taking and see how it goes. The capsules come in a flat design packaging I guess it’s so it can be posted through the letterbox . Not really a fan of this shape packaging but it does take up less shelf space as it’s thin tall packaging .

Not for me....
I like the idea of natural remedies to modern problems. I have anxiety but don't like the side effects of prescription medication so I was keen to give these a try... unfortunately they aren't for me. I've been taking one a day - the recommended dose is between 1 and 3 a day - for about 10 days and for the last 2 or 3 days haven't felt great. I decided to see if there are any side effects of these tablets- there are - and it was how I felt... headache, nausea and drowsy. I guess drowsy might be good for sleeping, but not in the day time, and the benefits of being drowsy at bed time were outweighed by the headache and nausea. I was taking the lowest dose too so its not like I was taking too much.Obviously not everyone gets side effects so they might be worth a try if you are in a position to wait and see if you'll get side effects. These are nicely packaged, the capsules are a good size and easy to swallow. They are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and the box takes up no room in cupboard!
