5-htp is great for replacing serotonin lost during certain weekend serotonin draining activities and getting a good natural sleep for bouncing back to life for everyone's worst day of the weekend. For 5-htp to be a precursor to serotonin it needs certain B vitamins in your diet of which this NaturPlus brand also contains along with 100mg of 5-htp. Recommend dosage on pack is 1 capsule (100mg) but my personal preference is 200mg or 2 capsules which taken an hour before bed gives deep sleep and wakes you feeling like the sun is shining. I must stress this is my own choice of dose but is well within safe dosage range and I have even been known to take twice that again. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK ON 5-HTP as everyone's body is different and I have also been taking this supplement for years and am familiar with its effects. It delivers results without the need for some meds from Big £€$ Pharma that carry unwanted side effects. Hope this was helpfulRead full review

...but it is when you have a too active mind. From a small child I have always had problems, with stress it gets worse. Fortunately I found 5-HTP and for the first time in my life I regularly have restful sleep. I still occasionally have trouble getting to sleep and staying asleep, during major life events, but for every day living 5-HTP, gives me the rest my body needs.

My 9yo son has a slight ADHD, and always had problems with falling asleep (since birth). It took at least an hour-hour and a half for him to fall asleep. Since we started using this product, he goes to bed earlier, falls asleep in 5 minutes (really!!!), has much calmer days and able to focus more in school! It is literally a Godsend. Thank You for providing such a helpful, clean, high quality product! We continue to buy this and other lovely supplies from you. Thank You NaturPlus!

Have a few health conditions and suffer from insomnia which impacts on them. The first night I took this I completely crashed and had a solid 8hrs sleep. I felt so much better the following day. Since then I have slept very well each night after taking just one tablet. I will stop them once my sleep pattern had been restored but keep them in on standby. I highly recommend 5HTP if you need some sleep. No groggy after effect etc but do make sure you can take these with any prescribed medication.
