SolgarGriffonia 5-HTP Complex – Sleep and Mood Support with Valerian Root, Magnesium, and Vitamin B6 - Vegan & Gluten Free - Pack of 90

This keeps me happy, and stable. It has improved the quality of my life with seemingly no limits. Reduced stress, therefore my blood pressure is down. The magnesium has given me the best sleep in the last 15 years, I've gone from 4 to 6 hours a night to 8. I'm taking one at 06:00 and one at 14:00... If I miss one I'm a raging mess lol. Have this one subscription - it's a life saver for me :)

I was recommended these. I was taking as a supplement in support of weight loss and didn't expect to see or feel any other benefits but I have to say my mental clarity is so much clearer, sleep pattern improved. When my 1st bottle of these ran out was when I really noticed how good they had made me feel. This is my 2nd order of this item and I will be continuing to take them. Very impressed.

Fantastic mood support supplement really works

Yes really help me to sleep

I don’t normally write reviews, but felt it was important given 5-htp may help people manage their mental health. I am peri-menopausal and been suffering with very bad anxiety and low mood, which in turn has lead to very horrific insomnia (night after night of no sleep). Never suffered with anxiety or insomnia until I hit peri-menopause. I have started HRT (Bioidentical due to family history of cancer) but is not the silver bullet I had hoped for and been told it could take six to nine months for my body to adjust. I did try an SSRI antidepressant, but I had a very bad reaction so now all SSRIs are not an option. So I started looking at alternatives tried many natural supplements, but none have worked like 5-HTTP.I started on 50ml 3 times a day (different brand at first). I saw some improvement, but it was small. After two weeks I moved up to 2 x 50ml and 1 x 100ml a day and this is when my sleep started to improve. It didn’t get better over night, but slowly it is improving. I am definitely more positive and smiling more. Then last week I move up to 1x50ml and 2x100ml and suddenly I was sleeping up to five hours solid. My anxiety is also reduced. It is not gone completely, but much more manageable.The challenge with 5-htp is they don’t last as long in your system as pharmaceutical ADs do and they are expensive compared to a prescribed meds by your GP. However, I have had no nasty side effects at all.It is still early days (on week 4) but I am so happy with the results as I was in a horrible place.

Can't say I noticed any improvements / changes as a result of taking it, but no problems either.

I started taking Solgar 5HTP on the advice of my naturopath. I'm 45 and started experiencing severe perimenopausal anxiety and low mood. I'm a psychotherapist with over 20 years in the profession and my anxiety and low mood did not make sense to me; I'm happy with life, my relationship, with work and I have no worries or concerns. It was only after speaking to my naturopath that I realised I was experiencing a host of other perimenopausal symptoms too (insomnia, the occasional hot flash etc).Taking 3 x 5HTP every day had a significant impact on my mood and I soon felt like me again. I felt like I could cope with life again and everything looked brighter and sharper.I took the Solgar 5HTP for about 6 months and then started dropping them off from 3 a day, to 2 a day, to 1 a day and finally none. The perimenopausal anxiety and low mood hasn't come back but I would certainly take 5HTP again if I needed to.Prior to taking the Solgar 5HTP I took a cheaper brand of 5HTP that did absolutely nothing. My naturopath recommended the Solgar brand of 5HTP which really does work.I cannot recommend this enough.UPDATE JANUARY 2018Well, as expected, the perimenopause anxiety did come back and I’m now back on three 5HTP a day. I can see me being on this throughout the perimenopause as it’s such a life changer. My mood feel stable, I feel calmer and more emotionally resilient. This really does work and I highly recommend it.Please remember that you should NOT take 5HTP if you also take antidepressants.

Foul tasting snake oil. This expensive "does nothing" product might work as a placebo for some, but it's highly unlikely.
